King of the Classroom

Age range 3 to 6

An upbeat story about a confident little boy who takes pride in his first day of nursery.

Starting kindergarten is a big milestone — and the hero of this story is ready to make his mark! He's dressed himself, eaten a pile of pancakes, and can't wait to be a part of a whole new kingdom of kids. The day will be jam-packed, but he's up to the challenge, taking new experiences in stride with his infectious enthusiasm. And afterward, he can't wait to tell his proud parents all about his achievements — and then wake up to start another day.
