A quick look at the new books I have read with Boy Child and Girl Child
It's Splat's first day of school and he's worried. What if he doesn't
make any new friends?
Just in case, Splat decides to bring along his pet mouse, Seymour, and hides him in his lunchbox.
The teacher, Mrs. Wimpydimple, introduces Splat to the class and he soon starts learning all his important cat lessons.
But when Seymour escapes and the cats do what cats do (they chase mice!), Splat's worried again.
Maybe now he'll lose all his friends, old and new!
Just in time, wise Mrs. Wimpydimple takes charge and teaches everyone an important new lesson. Maybe Cat School is going to be okay after all!

Our whole family loves the Splat the Cat series.
We first read this book when my kids moved from a private, in-home daycare to a new, center-based "school." I was probably more nervous than Boy Child (Girl Child was just a baby); this book likely helped to allay my own fears more than his.
It's a great book for shy students who are entering a new grade or moving to a new school.
And great for their worried parents, too.
We recently added a number of Splat the Cat books to our collection, including:
Fishy Tales
Love, Splat
On With the Show
Love, Splat
On With the Show
I love the lessons they teach, and it's easy to discuss the themes with my kids.
