Stuart's Cape; Pennypacker, S.; Illus. Matje, M.; Scholastic, Inc.; 2002.
Pennypacker did a great job of writing from a boy's perspective!
This is a great book to read at the end of the second grade year. Students would enjoy listing other things they might be worried about—Who will be my teacher? What if the teacher doesn't like me? There is always the teacher that students don't want—What will I do if I get Ms./Mr. ____________? The list could go on and on. A discussion on these worries could follow with the teacher reassuring future third graders. At the conclusion of the book and discussion, students are asked to write letters of reassurance to the incoming second grade class. These letters would be displayed in the classroom at the beginning of the new school year.
