This School Year Will Be the BEST!

On the first day of school, new classmates are asked to share what they would most like to happen in the upcoming year. Some kids' hopes are familiar while others are off-the-wall. Whether it's looking good on picture day or skateboarding at school, everyone's wishes are shown in humorously exaggerated illustrations. As the first day draws to a close, there can be no doubt—this school year will definitely be the best!"A good discussion starter for the beginning of the school year."--BooklistKay Winters lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
