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? In this tale for readers and listeners up to 6, the school has a rough start, but he soon sees that he's not the only one going through first-day jitters. The author of Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich perfectly captures the psychology involved here, while Christian Robinson's acrylic and collage illustrations abound in expressive figures and appealing textures and patterns.
