Brand-new Pencils, Brand-new Books (Gilbert and Friends (Paperback))

My son wants to read this book every night. Adorable story! Great for kids with before school jitters.

Good read for new school year! Go

I bought this book for my Great Nephew who is starting First Grade in the Fall. I thought it would be something his other could read him before school starts and it might help any anxieties he has about First Grade.

Perfect gift for grandson going to New school

Gilbert is getting ready to go to first grade. He is very worried about a lot of things. He's worried that his teacher won't be nice. He wonders if he will get into trouble for not eating all his lunch. As the day goes by he finds out that as long as he follows that rules that he teach has things will be fine. He even learns to read better and is able to read to his younger sister.What did you like or not like about the book?Children everywhere will identify with his sorrow when the day doesn't go as planned, and will also feel relief when everything turns out all right in the end.I would recommend this book to kids who are going to first grade. They might have some of the same feelings that the main character in the book has.

Another great book by this author. My students loved it! Read it during the first week of school. Can't wait to read her book at the end of the year.

Great book! Purchased for friends second grade classroom kids!!

This is a very cute book that I had purchased for my 5 year old as she started Kindergarten and was so excited about all her new school supplies. She adored the story.
