After the first day of first grade, Henry’s not so sure how he feels about it. The teacher is not like his kindergarten teacher, the fifth-graders hog the monkey bars, and there are too many new things to learn! But as Henry tells his mother about the cool classroom science corner, a new friend who also likes soccer, and that he’ll learn to read books, he begins to realize that maybe first grade won’t be so bad after all. With friendly illustrations and an upbeat text, Nancy Carlson delivers a reassuring story that shows how exciting first grade can be.
