Penny eagerly anticipates starting first grade with her best friend by her side. But as the big day approaches, unexpected surprises await, challenging her excitement and easing her jitters. Will the twist change everything she imagined? This playful story offers a humorous spin on a classic tale, perfect for easing back-to-school nerves.
From the publisher
It’s the night before the Big Day—first grade. Penny is excited to start the year with her best friend right beside her in the same classroom. This humorous take on Clement C. Moore’s classic tale has a perfect twist ending that will surprise readers—as well as the “heroine” of the story—and help all about-to-be first-graders through their own back-to-school jitters.
