Gilbert is getting ready to go to first grade. He is very worried about a lot of things. He's worried that his teacher won't be nice. He wonders if he will get into trouble for not eating all his lunch. As the day goes by he finds out that as long as he follows that rules that he teach has things will be fine. He even learns to read better and is able to read to his younger sister.What did you like or not like about the book? Children everywhere will identify with his sorrow when the day doesn't go as planned, and will also feel relief when everything turns out all right in the end. I would recommend this book to kids who are going to first grade. They might have some of the same feelings that the main character in the book has.
I bought this book for my Great Nephew who is starting First Grade in the Fall. I thought it would be something his other could read him before school starts and it might help any anxieties he has about First Grade.
This is a very cute book that I had purchased for my 5 year old as she started Kindergarten and was so excited about all her new school supplies. She adored the story.
THIS WAS A REAL TREAT FOR MY GRANDSON. HE SEEMED TO DRAW MANY PARALLELS TO HIS FIRST DAYS IN FIRST GRADE
Seemed boring to her. I was sent two by mistake in my order. I thought, if my granddaughter likes it, I would give it to a different granddaughter. Now, I think I will be hesitant to do so.
My children enjoyed listening to this book. As a matter of fact we read it twice! Great way to discuss first day of school worries. Thanks for the speedy shipping I truely appreciate it!
Another great book by this author. My students loved it! Read it during the first week of school. Can't wait to read her book at the end of the year.
Love the book. Use it the first week of school with my new class. I can come up with loads of activities using this book. Love Diane deGroat.
