Great book for making connections August 31, 2008
The kids were so surprised by the ending and it helped them understand that their first day of school feelings were normal - even the teacher has them! :)
Wonderful book! August 28, 2008
I read this book to my middle school students at the start of every year. They just love it! They giggle and laugh about my use of a picture book, then they really get into it. It's a wonderful icebreaker!
Satisfied customer August 26, 2008
The book arrived quickly and was exactly as described. My class enjoyed the story. It was very cute and funny.
great job August 15, 2008
we got the book in great shape and in great time. Good book for my daughters first day of school.
 Book about the first day in a new school - we all remember what that's like, right? July 4, 2008
My nieces haven't read this one yet.
The book runs through the excuses Sarah makes to avoid going to her new school (note that she's nervous about switching schools), and she's steadily cajoled into the front of the class where our Surprise! Announcement! reveals (and I admit, I was surprised - this is really well-done) that she's the teacher.
Well, no doubt teachers do get nervous on the first day of school, same as anybody else does :) Kids are likely to be surprised and laugh at the ending too, maybe even not believe it.
I do find it a little off-putting that Sarah's husband and boss essentially talk to her (and, in the beginning, treat her) like she's a child, but that's necessary to make the reveal an actual surprise.
I found the conversation between Sarah and the other characters to be very realistic (maybe a little less so for an adult, but, remember, we have to be surprised at the end), just like the conversations I had with my parents as a kid about school some days.
