Bookroo's summary

As the first day of school approaches, a child senses the change in the air—cooler mornings and ripening apples. The night before, they prepare their outfit and backpack, anticipating Dad's special breakfast. With excitement bubbling, they board the bus, ready to meet their teacher and explore the new classroom. This lyrical journey captures the thrill of returning to school, perfect for both eager students and curious first-timers.

From the publisher

Joyful anticipation is in the air as a child observes cues that the first day of school is coming soon. Cooler mornings, cicadas buzzing, apples ripening . . . Can shopping for school supplies be far behind? The evening before the first day means laying out your outfit, loading up your backpack, and filling a lunch box with your favorite things. When the alarm goes off, there’s Dad’s extra-special breakfast (and, of course, some picture-taking), then the feeling of bubbly excitement as you and your friends climb onto a bus, ready to see your new classroom and meet your teacher. Whether the reader is a child who is eager to return to school or a younger one trying to imagine what school is like, this upbeat and lyrical ode–the fourth in the And Then Comes series–holds sure appeal for returning students and first-timers alike.
