About this book
It's the first day of first grade, and everyone in Mrs. Miller's class is getting ready! Anna is excited about reading zillions of books, Ben's mom gives him a big off-to-first-grade hug, and Claire poses for a first-day picture. In "Off to First Grade" we hear from all twenty-three of Mrs. Miller's students - from Anna to Yoshi - and even the school principal, Mr. Zimmerman, as they prepare for a day that promises to be filled with fun, learning and laughs.

About this book
Be a sweet pea and tidy your room, Granny asks Elsa. But after playtime with a mischievous Little Thingamajig, Elsa needs some extra help. 'No problem,' says Little Thingamajig, 'I'll call Big Mama!' And so, all ends happily ? thanks to Big Mama's fluffy-flappy hands, feathery tail, hosey-nose and incredible tidy-away toes.
