Interest Level: K-2 grade
Genre: Fantasy
Clyde is very nervous about his first day of school but what he dreads the most is lunch. He has heard about how mean the lunch ladies are and worries that he will drop his food on the way to the table. When lunch times rolls around Clyde finds that the lunch ladies are a lot nicer than he has been led to believe. He even makes a friend.
Yes, I would use this book in my classroom. It would be a great book to read on the first day of kindergarten or first grade. The students are new to the school setting and this book would help ease their worries. This book is also great for predicting. The teacher can have the children predict what happens to Clyde when he enters the lunchroom. It would lead into a discussion about the students fears as well. It's very well illustrated, which helps students with visual literacy.
