Bookroo's summary

Simon, a hesitant young rabbit, dreads his first day of school. Despite his fears, his parents assure him of new friends and fun. As the day unfolds with drawing, playing, and music, Simon's reluctance turns to delight. When it's time to leave, will he want to go home? Discover how Simon's adventure transforms his perspective on school.

From the publisher

“A book to ease those first-day jitters! “ No way! is Simon s mantra when his parents tell him that tomorrow is his first day of school. After he tries to convince himself that he is not scared, Simon calls for help from Mom and Dad, who assure him that he will learn a lot, meet new friends, and have a great day at school. And they may just be right! After a day of drawing, playing, eating, resting, and making music, Mom tells Simon that it s time to go home. His answer? No way! Author-illustrator Stephanie Blake has created a lovable character in Simon the Super Rabbit, whose cautious approach to something new will feel familiar for parents and children alike.”
