Title: The wrong message, the wrong vocabulary
Review: As other reviewers have said, this book gives kids the wrong message on so many levels. The kids in this book dread the start of the school year. I don't want my kids to feel that way! This book also has some pretty complex vocabulary for a "Ready to Read" book - confidence, self-esteem, volunteer, decent. It seems like it took a story aimed at much older kids and sandwiched it into this format.
