About This Book
Reach for this book when your little one is expressing anxiety about starting preschool or kindergarten and needs a familiar, friendly face to demystify the school day. While some 'first day' books focus heavily on the emotional weight of saying goodbye, this story uses George's trademark curiosity to shift the focus toward discovery and the fun of a classroom environment. As George navigates a typical school day, young readers are introduced to basic routines like story time, snacks, and arts and crafts. It is an ideal choice for the 2 to 5 age range because it models school as a place of adventure rather than a place of separation. Parents will appreciate how George's well meaning mischief provides a lighthearted way to discuss classroom rules and the joy of learning alongside new friends.
