About this title

About the Author:

James Howe began his writing career with Bunnicula, which was published in 1979. Bunnicula has received numerous awards as a favorite among children throughout the U.S. and Canada. It was also the basis of a popular television special, a record and a tape, and has been published in the United Kingdom, as well as in German- and French-speaking countries. Howe so enjoyed writing as Harold -- the shaggy dog narrator of Bunnicula -- that he went on to write Howliday Inn, The Celery Stalks at Midnight and Nighty-Nightmare.

James Howe lives with his wife, Betsy Imershein, and their daughter, Zoe, in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.

From Publishers Weekly:

Howe, who wrote The Hospital Book, puts the first year of school into a clear context that is at once familiar and reassuring to would-be kindergartners. Using various schools, teachers, classrooms and "other kids," the book addresses notions so simple that some adults would overlook them: who will help children cross streets when their parents aren't around (a safety-patrol guard); how will they know which classroom they're supposed to be in; what will the bathrooms look like; how muchor how littlewill the other kids know. The photographs are suitably straightforward; school still looks like a brand-new experience, but a fun one. For all those normal fears and questions, this book has the answers, and gets them right.
