Synopsis
From award-winning author Tony Johnston and David Walker comes the perfect book for first time First Graders!
Kindergarten? Done!
"I'm zooming off to first grade now.
I need about five friends
to play good games like hide-and-sneak
and where-the-sidewalk-ends."
Tony Johnston's playful stanzas meet with David Walker's joyful art to create a remarkable foray into first grade--with all its peaks and valleys. There's reading and counting, sure, but also show-and-tell, singing, crafts, and of course, recess!
Watch out everyone, 'cause first grade, here I come!

Reviews
PreS-Gr 1—Bright illustrations carry this fun rhyming story, following a boy on his first day of first grade as he is determined to make five friends. After crouching and prowling like a tiger, making paper chains, show-and-tell, and even putting on a "neat-o" dragon play, he realizes that five friends would be just fine but being friends with everyone is even better. Wacky rhymes and a universal lesson make this story worth the read. At the same time, the lesson seems thrown in at the end and some of they rhymes seem forced. Those reading aloud will need to practice finding the rhyming cadence. Still, children will appreciate the joyful illustrations and will be inspired to write their own rhymes. VERDICT An upbeat addition to back-to-school collections.—Betsy Davison, Cortland Free Library, NY
