This book is sweet and full of intriguing suspensions. In the book ,the character named Little Tooth is excited about a place that she is going tomorrow. You know what? She is so excited to the point that she can’t even sleep! When the next morning came, Little Tooth went to this one by one mysterious place until she reaches the destination. When she got to the destination, everything and everyone seems so quiet and strange until her big secret was revealed.
Major theme of the story is about Anxiety for first day of school.
My young self would personally can relate to this book for first day of school. I enjoy school but when it comes to first day of school, let alone meeting a new teacher, the thought of knowing that “I am going to meeting my old friend” used to gives me a butterfly to my stomach.
This is a great book to read it to young children who are preparing to enter any form of schooling. I recommend this book to the children because the excitement episodes that the author bring in between pages and the illustration implement that excitement. In the meantime, I think this book is a great piece when it comes to the conversation that an adult can make with their soon to become students. This book will provide a safe environment for the student to open up about their feeling, and this is accomplished through this book. It was because this book allows the reader to know that teachers do get a lot of feeling and emotion when it comes to staring a new school year.
Ok, so from other peoples reviews I could see a trend in people saying that they did not like the book, that it had an unexpected twist at the end, and it seemed as if it just over left every aged reader confused. I don't have the same opinion about this book at all. I think that this would be a good book to read aloud during the first week of school. This book could be used as a think aloud story. I think that this would help the children associate and follow the story in order for the children to understand the twist at the end. Basically this story is about a rabbit character who describes what she is doing and how she is feeling the night before the first big day, and her whole experience leading up to the moment she sits down in the class. This book maybe better for an older group of students like 2-4 grades because the imagery and sentence context clues are a little bit more abstract concepts. Basically the main character is revealed at the end of the story as the teacher! This book would be used to help the teacher identify with the student in sharing the same first day classroom jitters. I found this book as very humbling.
While this book showed there is nothing to be afraid of about school, I did not like it. I felt the story was to boring for little children to follow and I had to read some pages over myself. The illustrations did not catch my eye either.
This is a book that I would read on the very first day of school to help my students identify and relax.
"Little Tooth is so nervous, she can hardly fall asleep. Tomorrow is her very first day of school! Tomorrow will be a day full of new experiences and surprises."
The illustrations are done in interesting skewed perspectives, with curving halls, POV from above, etc. The rabbit characters have extremely long, skinny ears. Cute story with slightly twist ending.
