About This Book
When would a parent reach for this book? When your child is navigating the big, sometimes overwhelming, feelings of elementary school, this book offers a dose of humor and perspective. It's not a story, but a collection of laugh-out-loud poems about everything from the first-day jitters and weird teachers to mountains of homework and the joy of recess. It validates feelings of excitement, boredom, and frustration, showing kids that their experiences are universal. For ages 6-10, these short, accessible poems are perfect for reluctant readers or any child who needs to see the silly side of school. It’s an excellent tool to start lighthearted conversations about their day and normalize the ups and downs of school life.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is light, humorous, and focuses on common, low-stakes childhood experiences related to school. It avoids any heavy or sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
A 7 to 9-year-old who is either nervous about school, loves school and its social dynamics, or is a reluctant reader who enjoys short, funny content. It’s perfect for a child who appreciates silly, slightly exaggerated humor (think Shel Silverstein or Jack Prelutsky) and can see the comedy in their own daily frustrations.
