Description: "A back-to-school story told through journal entries about a boy who finds himself at a new school where the other students are REAL animals"--
Review Quotes: "This story has an amusing tongue-in-cheek quality in which the text can be read as exaggeration but the pictures bear out the child's perspective. For children accused of having wild imaginations, this is an affirming treat. Just might convince complaining children that their school isn't so bad after all." --Kirkus reviews
"Along with being a good choice for children anxious about their own upcoming "first day," this offers a nifty exercise in reading between the lines."--Booklist
"Scharnhorst's humorous narration is presented on each page as Stuart's diary entries on notebook paper inserts. Animal humor aplenty enlivens the tale, while Patton's mixed traditional and digital media art amplify the comedy with dynamic scenes and cartoonish characters. An encouraging new-kid narrative told from an entertaining perspective." --Publishers Weekly
