PreS-K--Tiny T. Rex is going to a new school, and he is feeling both prepared and nervous. Readers follow him through his first day, as he confronts new tasks and routines. When Tiny makes mistakes, like squirting his juice box on a friend and tooting his instrument when he was asked to woot it, he worries he is not ready for school. With support and assurance from his teacher, friends, and family, Tiny understands that mistakes are part of learning. Confidence restored, Tiny feels big, smart, and ready for school. Through clear and simple text, Stutzman tells Tiny's story from a child's point-of-view and addresses common first day of school fears. Fleck's illustrations, rendered in pencil and then colored in digitally, use primary and secondary colors to create inviting illustrations that are easy to read. VERDICT Young children will relate to Tiny and his first day of school jitters, while being reassured that school is a place to make mistakes and grow.--Sarah Pousty
