Description


Starting a new school year can be hard, even if (especially if) you're seven feet tall. But there's plenty to look forward to!

The first day of school is right around the corner! And everything is bigger for Bigfoot -- especially back to school problems like getting a haircut, trying on new clothes, and finding new shoes that fit! Told from a giant (and very hairy) point of view, Back to School with Bigfoot deftly tackles the worries kids face as that first day of school draws closer, and ends on a colossal high note!

Praise For…


"Berger and Brockenbrough cleverly transfer the familiar anxieties of school-bound kids to their hairy hero... A reassuring model for kids big and small." -- Publishers Weekly"Nicely juxtaposes the negative what-ifs with a great list of positives and just may lead nervous readers to do the same." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for The Dinosaur Tooth Fairy:"Debut picture-book pair Brockenbrough and Sanchez are millions of years ahead of their time." -- Kirkus Reviews"With clever wordplay and repetitive words to emphasize the Dinosaur Tooth Fairy's emotions, this could be a fun storytime read-aloud for young readers." -- Booklist"Brockenbrough's text is energetic and amusing… there aren't many books about this important rite of passage, and this one packs in plenty of fun." -- School Library Journal
