Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Putting an uplifting spin on a classic poem, this charmingly illustrated and lyrical picture book prepares kids—and their parents!—for all that second grade has to offer.
“T’was the night before second grade,
I was out with my friend.
We couldn’t believe summer vacation
Had come to an end.”
It's the night before a young boy's first day of second grade, and he's excited to start the new school year. He spent all summer reading, practicing his math, and preparing for the year ahead. But he still has some hesitations—like who will his new teacher be? And what will he learn?
With colorful illustrations, rhyming text, and a fun surprise at the end, this encouraging story about starting second grade helps both kids and their parents learn what to expect in the coming academic year.
The Night Before series helps young readers—and their parents!—explore big milestones in an encouraging, uplifting way.

Reviews
K-Gr 2—"'Twas the night before second grade,/ I was out with my friend./ We couldn't believe summer vacation/ had come to an end." The tow-headed boy who narrates, with a slightly taller tow-headed friend, Jack, anticipates seeing students from first grade, reading longer poems, having a tough teacher, and getting to read chapter books, apparently off-limits until now. He and his family are white, but among those he sees the next day are two children with brown skin, a girl in a hijab, an Asian boy, and Jack; they show off their new shoes because they have all had growth spurts. The surprise of second grade is not the chapter books after all, but that his father is the teacher, who reassures everyone he will not play favorites. With awkward rhymes, bumpy scansion, and no real plot, this book has little to do with second graders. The chapter book subplot fades and Dad's new job is a last-minute Hail Mary to infuse excitement but falls flat. VERDICT Buy another copy of Get Ready for Second Grade, Amber Brown by Paula Danziger, if the budget allows, but pass on this one.—Kimberly Olson Fakih
