Book Reviews of First Day Jitters
Book Review: Super book for preschoolers and kindergarteners!
Summary: 5 Stars
Julie Danneberg's "First Day Jitters" ought to be mandatory reading for all preschoolers and kindergarteners before they go off to school the first day. Sarah Jane Hartwell is snuggled down tightly under her covers, not wanting to go to her new school, while Mr. Hartwell urges and cajoles her into moving along. Mr. Hartwell drives her to school, where the principal, Mrs. Burton, kindly meets Sarah Jane at the car and personally escorts her into the classroom. And on the last page is a wonderful surprise that is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any young child who's concerned about that all-important first day!Judy Love's vivid ink and watercolor drawings have a great sense of movement and are pleasingly colorful. She does an especially fine job of hinting at the surprise to come on the last page without giving it away via the illustrations.
Book Review: Great book for new teachers!
Summary: 5 Stars
First Day Jitters is a great book to read aloud the first day of school. Many students get the first day jitters when they begin a new year. The book helps students and teachers relate to the feelings and emotions building up to the first day of class. It teaches comprehension through imagery in the story. The plot leads to a very cute twist when the students learn that the teacher is the the one who is nervous about her first day of school. The students make the connection with the teacher in the story. I definitely recommend this book to any new teacher. I enjoyed reading it just as much as my students loved hearing the story!Book Review: Everyone has had it - first day school jitters - a must read

Colorful pictures that follow that first day of school you remember, only this time with a surprise ending. This is a great book for kids that are nervous to go to school, or adults who want to read books about their childhood. You really can't go wrong with a book like this.
Book Review: Outstanding Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I read First Day Jitters on the night before the first day of third grade. This book is about Sarah Jane Hartwell. She did not want to go to school on the first day. She said her head hurts and didn't feel well to try to get away from going to school. Mr. Hartwell tries to encourage her by saying, "Of course you're going, honey...as he walked to the window and snapped the shade. This book made me feel excited for the first day of school. I like this book because it is very funny. Look for the surprise ending. I would recommend this book for children from ages 5-10.Book Review: WHAT A WONDEFUL BOOK FOR KIDS AND TEACHERS ALIKE
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderfu twist to the "first day of school jitters." This is a wonderful book to read to kids who are headed to school for the first time and it is a wonderful book to give as a gift to the first time teachere. It teaches us that we are all human no matter how old we are. The illustrations in this book are very good, well exccuted and a delight to the eye. The text is great and goes very will with the illustrations. This is one every teacher of younger children keed keep in her or his class room and read from time to time. Recommend this one highly.
