Highlighting the fun and friendships that can be discovered in the classroom, this clever story acknowledges the anxieties many children face on their first day of school. Kevin is excited about going to school for the first time, but he becomes frightened when his mother drops him off. As the day progresses, he watches a puppet show, makes a funny hat with a new friend, and plays with blocks. When his mother shows up to bring him home, he is surprised that the day is over, and excited to be coming back tomorrow. Exploring the fears and loneliness of new experiences, this sweet tale depicts the sense of belonging that can be found in class.

Kevin spends a happy autumn day raking leaves with his father and gathering chestnuts with his mother.
Sometimes Kevin feels angry, sad, or afraid. And sometimes Kevin feels happy. Kevin's Big Book of Emotions offers a reassuring first look at the range of feelings and emotions Kevin and all young children experience throughout their day. It includes poems, lifttheflaps, games, and questions to engage young readers about the emotions and feelings that are a normal part of everyday life.
Kevin and his dad spend the day together drilling, washing the car, playing, and making French fries.
When Katie doesn't feel well, her mother explains that she has a fever and takes Katie to see the doctor, with her favorite toy in tow--using simple language and vivid illustrations, this soothing tale is an ideal way to prepare children for their first visit to a medical practitioner.
Katie spends a day enjoying the winter weather, building a snowman with her father, and taking a sled ride with her baby brother Ben.
Kevin is playing outside when he falls and bumps his head. Mom brings Kevin to the hospital where the doctors and nurses take good care of him. Grandma and Kevin's friend Rose visit Kevin and bring him presents to make him feel better. When Kevin is well enough to leave, he says thank you to the doctors and nurses and goodbye to the hospital. With soothing language and recognizable images, this book explains what to expect at the hospital in a way that comforts young children without overwhelming them.
