BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Starting at a new school can be terrifying. The "New Student" tour guide takes her job very seriously as she excitedly ushers the newest student through the bathroom, library, playground and lunchroom while introducing some people, procedures, along with her own perception of each area. She emphasizes the best thing is just being a friend.
I'm not sure how comforting dogs running loose on the playground, or wide-eyed frightening illustrations would be to a new student. Schools I have been at would never allow loud singing in the bathroom like the tour guide was teaching the new student to do. The concept for a new student welcome book was there but missed the mark for me.
Diverse students are represented throughout the book.
