Worried Wendy Goes to School

Beautifully illustrated, Worried Wendy Goes To School by Jenna Lumbard is a very special children’s story by a very special young woman. Charming and sweet, it introduces a young girl named Wendy who is heading to her first day of school. While she understands the concept, Wendy is not so sure about the particulars. She does not know the rules and she really does not know what to expect, which worries her tremendously. She thinks of a plan to get out of going, but Wendy’s mother knows all her tricks so there is no getting out of or around it. As Wendy puts one foot in front of the other, she learns that with a little faith and a few smiling children everything will be alright. Rhyming and lyric with bold illustrations, thinking about going to school just became fun.

5Highly recommend this title  Jul 06, 2009
A brilliant, insightful story about a young girl heading off to her first day of school. The author has done an outstanding job relating to the fears facing any young child, the book is beautifully intuitive and thoughtfully written, and the illustrations are fantastic. The author's own story is very compelling; I congratulate Ms. Lumbard on her achievement and look forward to future Wendy stories.

5A wonderful childrens book  Jun 22, 2009
This is a very well illustrated and inspiring book. Written in a straight forward way so all children can understand. It is a great way to introduce a child to the change in life that surrounds going to school for the very first time.

5An excellent read for children of any age and ability  Jun 16, 2009
Worried Wendy Goes to School is an excellent introduction to a wonderful and complex girl like so many children are. Since going to school is universal in the life of a child, this story is perfect for all children. I have shared this story with many people in the past few weeks and hope more and more have the opportunity to enjoy it.

It is insightful and thoughtful to a child's state of mind on the momentuous first day of school. I don't know any child who isn't both excited and nervous!

Thank you to the author for sharing her story with us in such a generous nature! I am looking forward to sharing more adventures with Worried Wendy in the future.

My congratulations to the author on her book debut! This is a very sweet story about the anxiety of firsts which even adults feel and can strongly relate to. The story is well written, capturing a child's thoughts and emotions leading up to her first day at school. The illustrations are bright, colorful and humorous. I look forward to Wendy's future stories as she tackles each worry of growing up.

3My review  Jun 07, 2009
I like the book, and when it was my first day at school I cried in the car. It makes me feel good that someone wrote a book about it. Alta, age 5
