Harry Versus the First 100 Days of School by Emily Jenkins, illustrations by Pete Oswald
If you haven’t read this warm and funny chapter book, you’re in for a treat—it’s all about one first grader’s first 100 days of school and adjusting to the ups and downs of classroom and family life. It’s written in 100 short chapters too, so if you start now, you can finish by the big day!
Activity to try: While writing a story that’s 100 chapters long might be a little intimidating for your kiddos, you could try writing a story that’s 100 sentences or 100 words long!
