First Day of School

The kids from Mrs. Madoffs classroom-“a charmed place” (Kirkus Reviews)-are preparing for a brand-new school year! For Nicholas and his best friend, Charlie, it means getting new haircuts. For Jessica, it means getting a new lunchbox-and making lunches all by herself. And Evan has a house key that he wears around his neck. As the new school year begins, the kids in Mrs. Madoffs class have all gotten bigger and can do a lot more on their own. Some things, though, are more fun to share with others. Nicholas and Charlie hope they will be in the same class again this year. But they know they will still be friends no matter what. Celebrate all the rituals of the first day of school, and come share in the excitement with friends old and new!
