About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about the rigid rules or 'seriousness' of a new school year. While many books focus on the logistics of school, this silly farmyard adventure addresses the secret fear that school might be a place where fun and personality go to disappear. Farmer Brown is convinced that school is a place for quiet, order, and 'no quacking,' but the animals soon discover that even teachers love to get messy and loud. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who need to see that authority figures can be joyful and that classrooms are built for play as much as for learning. This story provides a gentle, humorous way to normalize back to school jitters while celebrating the vibrant, sometimes chaotic energy of a primary classroom.
