Ham And Pickles: First Day of School

by Nicole Rubel

Pickles is nervous about her first day of school. But Ham has the answers to every one of her questions. After all, he's older and wiser and knows everything about school. But Ham's help isn't exactly what Pickles was hoping for, and his wacky advice is turning her first day into a disaster. . . .

Favorite illustrator Nicole Rubel has given us a quirky and funny story about first-day jitters--and about a sister who comes to appreciate her brother for his unique charm and big heart.

Very cute story, made my students laugh!

Fun book with colorful illustrations and a humorous storyline. Younger kids will relate to the idea of first day of school jitters.

[Jenna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This would be a great way to start the school year off. It begins typically with an anxious character worried about the first day of school. This book offers ways to get through the nervousness and build self esteem about school and peers.

Pickles is nervous about her first day of school, but taking advice from her big brother Ham may not be a good idea. www.hcpl.net

I really did not like the illustrations of this book.
