FIRST GRADE JITTERS Release date: June 22, 2010 This story by Robert Quackenbush of a young child's concern about entering first grade has been beloved by children, parents, and teachers since it was first published in 1982. From Harper Collins Childrens Books About this newly illustrated edition of Robert Quackenbush’s classic story, Kirkus says: “Quackenbush recognizes a reality that is often glossed over – that even kids with a bit of school under their belts can worry about changes – and provides welcome support for them.”…“Nascimbene places Tintinesque characters against gorgeous, Japanese print-inspired backgrounds in a muted palette, the delicate lines and flat perspectives providing a soothing environment to calm jitters of all kinds.”
