Never Spit on Your Shoes

+ Want to read

Arnie, a puppy, tells his mother about the first day of school. The two appear, with the text, in a cozy inset showing them snacking at home, while the rest of each double-page spread is wide open to the chaos that occurred in first grade . . . Kids should love exploring the illustrations for more beginning school mayhem . . . made even more comic by the delicious expressions on the characters' faces.—Kirkus Reviews, pointed review. Full-color illustrations.
