It’s the night before preschool, and a little boy named Billy is so nervous he can’t fall asleep. The friends he makes the next day at school give him a reason not to sleep the next night, either: he’s too excited about going back! The book’s simple rhyming text and sweet illustrations will soothe any child’s fears about the first day of school.
This hopeful rhyming back to school book can be used in speech therapy to address social/emotional issues like acceptance and making friends. It is also great for noticing character expressions and for targeting describing as well as for /l/, /k, and /th/ sounds!
