Review: Cute but not quite five stars

Every child is afraid to leave their comfort zone on the first day of school, but it usually works out for the best very quickly once the kids start meeting up. The illustrations are cute, but the rhyming was not quite to par with other pieces by Bennett, which I highly recommend. The story empathizes with the typical children's fears, and the usual comforting responses that every mother or father should give to their child. This is a great story to tell to your child before they head off to school, but the rhyming flow is a tad off. Nonetheless, it is a good read for all children before their first day of school.
