Reviews

I had gotten this as a kid in elementary school and I just never read it until my mother guilted me into not ready like 50 of these young reader books, so in the beginning of high school I figured why not. Overall, it was cute-- nothing special, but cute.

Cute story.

A great book for any kid to read who is getting ready to attend a new school. Also a good book for all kids to read - a good reminder to be nice to the new kid.
