PreS-Gr 1–Summer is ending, and siblings Archie, a pig, and Pip, a platypus, are about to start school. Archie is going into kindergarten, and Pip is headed to first grade. They’re both nervous. Archie is worried about being in a classroom all day, while Pip is concerned his brother won’t need him once he starts school. But for both of them, the first day of school turns out to be one of exciting new friends and fun. Colorful illustrations create a cast of adorable animal characters in this book, which is perfect for a child or siblings heading to school for the first time.
VERDICT A solid addition to any library’s school-themed picture book collection.
