    Sea monster Ernest is starting his first day of school. But starting school is a big job!

      My grandson does not start school for another year, but I think that this would be a great book to have. Of course, he will be the first of the family kids to start school and would be used in the future.

        Hi Christine, It’s definitely a great back-to-school read. It’s never to early to prep for kindergarten 🙂

      Very cool. Especially for back to school. My 2yr old will be starting preschool. Very exciting and scary. Thanks for reviewing. I hope my story will get a cool review one day.
