From the publisher
Marc Brown, creator of the beloved Arthur books and TV show, offers a charming new character–and a fun and reassuring story about preparing for the first day of school. Kindergarten is only a week away . . . but Monkey is NOT ready. What if he gets on the wrong bus? What if they don’t have any red crayons? What if he doesn’t like the snacks? What if he doesn’t make new friends? There are so many thoughts running through Monkey’s head! But step by step, his family eases his worries: they get him a new backpack, help him read books about school, prepare his lunch, and make sure Monkey is excited–and ready–for the Big Day.
