Synopsis
After the first day of first grade, Henry's not sure how he feels about it. The teacher isn't like his kindergarten teacher, and the fifth-graders hog the monkey bars. But as Henry tells his mother about a new friend who likes soccer and about how he'll learn to read books, he begins to realize that maybe first grade won't be so bad after all.
Publishers Weekly
Henry, the mouse star of Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come! moves up a notch for First Grade, Here I Come! by Nancy Carlson. As the book opens, the hero's mother asks him about his first day, and he tells her what he misses about kindergarten but also what he likes about his new first grade classroom. Carlson illustrates each memory as a thought balloon, while framing present-tense scenes with a clean white border. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
