Being Jacob: First Day of School by Suzy Koch

From The Book

Big, yellow buses park outside, adults in red tee shirts and children of all sizes hurry here and there, and noise booms everywhere. The first day of school can be scary, at first.

About The Book:

This is a Young Readers book for children aged Ages 3-7.  A short little story about a young boy and his experiences on his first day of school.  He is scared to go to school at first, being alone and without anyone he knows.  Then he starts to find that school is a much nicer place than he realized and enjoys his day.

My Opinion:

My sons have been homeschooled their entire lives, so they never had a "First Day of School".  However, if they had, I would have liked to have this book in my arsenal, to show them that school isn't neccesarily a scary place to be.  This is a great little story of how a little boy finds out that school isn't so bad and he enjoys himself enough to want to go back.

The illustrations are also a beautiful part of the book.  Aidana WillowRaven of WillowRaven Illustration & Design Plus does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life.  Her art work is very realistic and beautiful which makes this book very fun to read.  You can see her work in many other young readers, tween and teen books.

This is a perfect little book for anyone who's got a child in their life who is about to go to their first day of school.  It'll show them that even though they are scared at first, it really will be ok and they'll want to go back the next day.  I'd buy it for any of my nieces or nephews who are getting ready to go into pre-k or kindergarten.

My rating: 5.0 stars
