In this sweet introduction to school, a diverse set of young students greets each new lesson and activity with a level of excitement that's charming without being cloying. Each spread begins with a simple highlighted exclamation or declaration ("Everything is new!"; "Learning our letters"), and the illustrations, created with pen, pencil, and digital brushes, depict believable preschool/kindergarten scenes with characters talking in cartoony word bubbles.
