You're Wearing THAT to School?!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Cornelison. Despite mouse Tiny's advice about navigating the first day of school, hippo Penelope begins the day wearing her "sparkle rainbow outfit" rather than the plain attire that will help her "fit right in." The didactic narrative touches on first-day-of-school clothing, lunches, and show-and-tell while stressing the importance of being yourself. Digital illustrations humorously pit the theatrical hippo against her quiet-minded mouse friend.
