Synopsis

It's the night before the Big Day—first grade. Penny is excited to start the year with her best friend right beside her in the same classroom. This humorous take on Clement C. Moore's classic tale has a perfect twist ending that will surprise readers—as well as the “heroine” of the story—and help all about-to-be first-graders through their own back-to-school jitters.

About this title

From the Author:

I wanted to capture the panic of being split up from your best friend when you're put into different classes, but then the joy of making new friends. This book is a nice follow-up for kids who have read my The Night Before Kindergarten book.
