Stewie BOOM! Starts School

Stewie BOOM! Starts School by Christine Bronstein and illustrated by Karen l. Young    48 Pages

Starting school, be it preschool or kindergarten, is scary for kids. Especially for those who have stay-at-home moms. Stewie BOOM! is one of those kids.

Stewie is loud, sometimes cranky, and often comical. He has just been told by his Mommy and Daddy that tomorrow he will go to school. He’s anxious because he like structure but has no idea of what structure is during the school day.

His first day is a disaster. His teacher had to call Mommy to come get him, which made the teacher, Mommy, AND Stewie mad.  But as Stewie tosses and turns in his bed, he comes up with an ingenuous plan to help him with learning how school operates.

Designed for kids ages 3-6, the book also has an important section for adult: an interview “with two well-regarded child psychologists who give simple tips and practical advice” for parents.

This is a book that both children and parents can reap benefits. 

I give Stewie BOOM! Starts School 5 out of 5 stars.
