Going back to school can be fun...even if it is a little scary!

JUSTIN CASE: School, Drool, and Other Daily Disasters by Rachel Vail; Illus. by Matthew Cordell

With the end of summer comes back to school commercials and fears about the upcoming school year. One young boy, Justin Case, is dreading third grade! Author, Rachel Vail, perfectly captures the anxiety many young students confront at the beginning of the year. Written in an easy to read journal format, readers get to see that third grade isn’t really that scary. It’s harder than kindergarten, but it can be a lot of fun too!

Julie Andrews + A Princess = A VERY perfect combination

THE VERY FAIRY PRINCESS by Julie Andrews & Emma Walton Hamilton; Illus. by Christine Davenier (Ages: 4-8)

Geraldine is a Fairy Princess and she has kindly shared the rules with us! It is quite demanding being a fairy princess. Pink apparel is required, but remember, you have to put your wings away in class (they may get crushed otherwise), glitter and feathers are required in art class and even bath time is princess time. Doesn’t it sound exhausting? But Gerry always makes sure to get a good nights. Beauty sleep is very important for a Fairy Princess and her Sparkle.

Grab your crown and your sparkle and join in on a day in the life of Gerry, the VERY Fairy Princess.
