I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
This cover just drew me in! It is just so gorgeous and pretty and look at all the details! And then I read the blurb and knew I would like it even more! Because this book is about a little bird’s first day of school and I can still remember vaguely those jitters, those nerves. How at first you don’t want to, but then things turn out to be quite nice and fun.
And this was just soooo adorable and cute! Meet our little Robin, it is his first day at school and naturally he is a tad apprehensive about going! But as we can see school is actually very much fun! We see our Robin meet new friends and see them have a fantastic fun-filled day with plenty of activities and breaks. We see him play. We see him eat. I didn’t have to see him go to potty. We see crafts, and so much more. I won’t tell you all he does on his very first school day. But I guess with all this fun you can guess how his feelings are when he has to leave after such a fun day. I just laughed so hard when that end of the day came along and then smiled to see him so happy he could go another day. Though, haha, I wonder how much fun he will have when playing turns to learning and studying. While I do love studying/learning new things… I remember that I quite missed those earlier years of playing and just learning by having fun. But for now I guess things are great and that makes me happy. I am sure it is also a relief for the mom.
One thing that I found weird was that during lunch it was said that all beaks made sound… but our Robin was the only one with a beak? The rest had mouths/muzzles/whatever you want to call it.
I loved seeing the variety in the animals, we have a bunny/hare, there is a little lady bug, and several others!
The art, well it was just as good as the cover was. I really love the style and how warm and fun it is!
All in all, I am happy I had the chance to read this and I would highly recommend this one. This is a great one for kids who are about to go to school!

Great book especially if your little one is getting ready to go to school like my daughter. I loved how the entire day at school was described in detail. The illustrations are beautiful and very detailed. My favorite was the one where they are eating lunch together. It was so cute to see that each animal had their specific lunch. My children loved it and identified with the little animals and their experience going to school.

This is Robin's first day of school, and he is not looking forward to it. He is scared and nervous. This book helps children see how the first day of school will be like. It's okay to be scared because in the end it will be a lot of fun and you will meet new friends. The illustrations were fun, interesting, colorful, and related to the story. I really enjoyed this picture book that is catered to 4 to 9-year-olds. I give this book five stars.

An adorably illustrated book for preschoolers hesitant to start school. The story follows Robin's first day at school and all the activities preschoolers can anticipate during their day from circle time, playing with toys, meal times, and going potty. The story concludes with Robin's mom returning at the end of the school day to pick him up and leaving him excited to return to school the next day.
Such a sweet story that my own child starting preschool this year enjoyed! I would recommend this book for preschool aged children.

Lovely illustrations and great to use for children who are nervous or anxious about starting school - it links to the fun things that happen at nursery/school and the routine of the day plus reminding the children that they will still get to go home at the end of the day.

I think the best part of this book was the pictures.
This is about a little bird, Robin, who goes to school for the first time. He learns that they share stories, play with toys, use the potty, eat, but nothing really educational. I wish it would have included something more in their day that showed school is not all play and fun but also learning.
Robin is always asking what they will do next ma’am. So perhaps it was written to also help children learn to be respectful? Anyway, I am not a fan of the book as a whole.
I’d like to thank NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
