Here is the story of a young boy who is about to enter first grade and doesn't know quite what to expect. Will his friends be there? Will he have to know how to read and spell? What if he can't understand anything his teacher says? Looks like a case of first grade jitters!

Robert Quackenbush and Yan Nascimbene tell a reassuring story that is sure to chase away those jitters for any soon-to-be first grader.

Robert Quackenbush began drawing and painting when he was a boy in Phoenix, Arizona, and has never stopped. He is the author and illustrator of nearly two hundred children's books.
