First Grade Stinks!

Monday August 25, 2008
First Grade Stinks!First Grade Stinks! is a good picture book for the child apprehensive about the transition from kindergarten to first grade. In a humorous way, author Mary Ann Rodman and illustrator Beth Spiegel show how one little girl gets through, and ultimately enjoys, her first day of first grade, even though it is quite different from kindergarten.

I hope someone can recommend me… I am looking for a book about starting school that exists /translated/. A book good enough and famous enough to exist in other languages. xD I’d like to present my 6 y/o godson which will enter first grade this year with a book about it, but I am having much trouble finding it. All he knows of English is the colours and the greetings (which is a lot for a little Portuguese boy xD). Any recommendation is very welcome, feel free to e-mail me with it. =)
