This is a great book to address the first day of school. Also a good book to show little children how everyone is nervous and worried about things.

This is a book about a little girl who worries about everything especially the first day of school. She makes new friends and soon she doesn't worry so much.

Wemberly worried about everything. She worried about big things, little things, and things in between. She worried in the morning, evening, and at night. She worried all the time. At her birthday party, she worried that there would not be enough cake. At Holloween, she worried that there would be too many butterflies in the parade. When it was time for her to go to school, Wemberly worried that the teacher might be mean, if she couldn't find the bathroom, if the room smelled bad. She worried all of the time. When she got to school, she met the teacher, Ms Peachum. As Ms Peachum talked to Wemberly's parents, she told her she thought she should meet Jewel. Wemberly found that Jewel worried a lot also. They became the best of friends. They had so much fun. Before they knew it, it was time to go home. Wemberly decided she would go back to school the next day, no worries.

This is a very cute book addressing the first day of school. Wemberly the mouse was constantly worried about everything. When the first day of kindergarten was close to arriving she worried even more. At school, she met a friend who was just like her. They had so much fun together and she worried no more. This is a great book to show little children how every one is nervous and worry's about things.

Wemberly worried about everything. She was very worried about her first day of school though. She worried constantly and when she was worried she would rub her bunnys ears. At school she met a friend like her though and it made everything better.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0688170277, Hardcover)

Wemberly the mouse worries about everything: big things, like whether her parents might disappear in the middle of the night; little things, like whether she'll spill grape juice on her toy rabbit, Petal; and things in between, like whether she might shrink in the bathtub. What she is more worried about than anything else, however, is her first day at the New Morning Nursery School: "What if no one else has spots? What if no one else wears stripes? What if no one else brings a doll? What if the teacher is mean? What if the room smells bad?" Happily, Miss Peachum introduces her to a kindred spirit right away. Jewel doesn't have spots, but she is wearing stripes and holding a doll. As Wemberly plays with her new friend, she still worries, but no more than usual. ("And sometimes even less.")

Kevin Henkes, well-loved creator of the award-winning Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, gets to the heart of a child's feelings like no one else can. Young worrywarts (and their parents) will see themselves in Wemberly, and be relieved that she, too, worries about playground equipment ("Too rusty. Too loose. Too high."), sure-to-be-inhabited cracks in the wall, whether she will be the only butterfly in the Halloween parade, and, of course, whether school will be dreadful in every way. Henkes's Lilly-style illustrations are sweet, expressive, and loaded with funny, inventive details that invite close perusal with every reading. (Wemberly's roller-blading grandma, for example, is wearing a T-shirt that says "Go with the flow.") We're not worried about whether this book will become a classic--it will! (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
