Oliver can't wait for his first day of school, but his dad isn't quite ready! Celebrate the new school year with this fun-filled tale about embracing new experiences--at any age!
Oliver and his dad spent all summer playing together, laughing together, singing together, and reading together. But now it's time for Oliver to start school, and he's so excited! But. . . his dad isn't. Suddenly, he feels nervous and his tummy hurts. Maybe they should stay home together!
But Oliver isn't convinced. What if the first day is really fun? What if it's the start of an exciting year?
In this charming story, acclaimed author and illustrator Mike Wohnoutka perfectly captures the mixed emotions felt by kids and their parents during big changes.
