The ever imaginative Stinky Face is not at all sure about starting school for the first time, so he has a whole bunch of questions for his mama! What if the school bus gest a flat tire?

A magical, charming first day of school story Stinky Faces everywhere will adore--from the creators of the bestselling I Love You, Stinky Face.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1-This follow-up to I Love You, Stinky Face (BridgeWater, 1997) continues in the tradition of innumerable stories in which a mother comforts her child's fears, but with a goofy twist. As with the first book, there is little sense of sentimentality, as Mama tries to allay her youngster's misgivings. The story begins with a concern that too many kids will get on the school bus, causing the tires to go flat. From there, the situations grow increasingly preposterous, such as what if the principal is "-really a witch-And she turned me into a snarly werewolf in polka dot underwear-?" McCourt does nothing new with this now-familiar story format but just goes for the easy laughs instead. Still, the silliness does provide Moore the opportunity to draw lots of entertainingly funny pictures. Her lively cartoon style is perfect for the over-the-top scenarios described in the text. Young readers may smile at Stinky Face's wacky imaginings, but this book has nothing to make it an enduring favorite.
