Timothy Goes to School

Rating:
Summary: I give the original 5 stars
Review: I am not sure why this book was re-illustrated and re-written. The writing revisions are not too bad, but the illustrations are not at all in the same league as in the original. They are big, bright and colorful. Perhaps they make the book a more successful read-aloud. If I had come across this book without having seen Wells' original, I'd have given it a higher rating. I'd have really loved it. But when you've already had the best nothing else will do.

Summary: I LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND REMEMBERED MY FIRST DAYS IN SCHOOL
Review: so vividly it was scary. This book nails the feelings kids go through so perfectly I strongly recommend it to anyone with kids. A great read for the adults as much as for the kids. The artwork is perfect and funny too.

Review: This is currently #1 on my son's reading list. He could listen to this 20 times a day. I think he likes the fact that it's realistic---there are kids out there like Claude, that really make kids like Timothy not enjoy school as they otherwise would, but then Timothy is able to find a way to overcome his sadness. The pictures are wonderfully expressive. A real gem of a book.
