I found this book to be mediocre. I enjoyed the plot and the message the story had, but I thought the book could have more sentences/set up differently. The story line of Sally being scared for her first day of school is relate-able for young children; often times they feel the same way, unsure of the new environment, people and what lies ahead. Sally's feelings are not un-ordinary and can add comfort to the readers. However, I felt the book could have more text on the page and what was written could be set up differently. The text is written with numbers in front of each blurb "3. Where's my hat? Father Cat asked. It's on your head, Mother Cast says." I feel the numbers are not necessary and the text could be a bit more detailed. Overall, I like the book. The message is clear and the young readers can relate to what Sally is going through which is very important. in helping instill a love for reading. ( )
