We hear so much about how students feel about school -- but how does SCHOOL feel about the students?

Perfect Kindergarten read aloud. (

The first day of school from the point of view of the school building.

It's the first day of school and everyone's just a little bit nervous, especially the school itself. What will the children do once they come? Will they like the school? Will they be nice to him?

Fun account from the perspective of a personified school building as it handles nervousness about the beginning of the school year. Silly at times and quite sweet. (

Good book for kids starting school, especially those who are nervous about beginning at a new one.

Book description

It's the first day of school at Frederick Douglass Elementary and everyone's just a little bit nervous, especially the school itself. What will the children do once they come? Will they like the school? Will they be nice to him?
The school has a rough start, but as the day goes on, he soon recovers when he sees that he's not the only one going through first-day jitters.
