New Releases by Robie H. Harris

"I closed my eyes and held on tight to Hank. That''s when I decided that going to the very first day of school was NOT a good idea." When a child gets ready for the first day of school, it feels very exciting. But doing something new for the first time can also feel somewhat scary. With great affection and humor, Robie H. Harris and Jan Ormerod, creators of the award-winning picture book Goodbye Mousie, tell the captivating story of a child who decides that skipping the very first day of school is a very good idea. But with help from his favorite stuffed animal, Hank, and his parents, he discovers that going to the very first day of school can be fun and exciting -- and once you have done something new, it''s not quite so new and scary anymore.

Después de haber sido, durante mucho tiempo, uno de los temas tabú por excelencia de los libros para niños pequeños, la muerte se ha convertido en un tópico casi tan previsible como las historias ecológicas, de igualdad de género o sobre la tolerancia. El problema, aquí, no es tanto el qué, sino el cómo. Un ratoncito muere y el niño insiste en que está dormido; luego, aceptará la idea y comenzará el ritual de la despedida y el entierro, todo desde una óptica infantil en la que se integran lo sentimental y lo pragmático. Las ilustraciones de Jan Ormedor, de líneas sueltas y expresivas, captan momentos de la vida cotidiana de una familia joven de hoy de una manera aguda y poco romántica.

Benny learns many things during the first year of his life. Includes information about infant development.
