My son got this at the end of first grade to know how second grade might be. And now we're almost halfway through second grade and he keeps asking to read it. It's written in cute poems for each type of event that happens in second grade.

Supposed 2nd grade activities are depicted. The blonds and redheads are the same skin tone but there isn't representation for a white brunette. The Asian is yellow. There are some stickers in the back.

This is a super cute little book of poetry. It's going to be perfect for the first few days of school when teachers are trying to build a new community.

I read it to my daughter tonight. She starts 2nd grade tomorrow. She enjoyed listening to it AND it helped ease some jitters.

This is more of the entire year rather than the night before, but it was good.
