Book SynopsisTrade Review**STARRED REVIEW** "Brockington also explores what first days at new schools have in common, whether the students are human or canine: feeling confused, out of place, and lonely until an overture of friendship is extended. . .A fabulous, funny take on the new-kid and first-day-of-school concepts, especially for animal lovers." * Kirkus Reviews *
Recently relocated kids will appreciate the support and humor here, and any kid will giggle at the final page. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
A story that’s got all the markers of a classic anxiety dream becomes an amusing balm for hesitant school-goers in Brockington’s deftly comic picture book. * Publishers Weekly *
The ridiculous canine twist addresses familiar new-kid/first-day anxieties and insecurities with humor and understanding. The narrator’s remark that “everything about this school is strange and different” will resonate with anyone who’s been in a similarly disorienting situation. * The Horn Book Magazine *
