A fun book for releasing nerves and finding comfort.--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"New-to-school fears are humorously explored in this story of one little ghoul whose first day doesn't go as expected....a uniquely monstrous perspective on a common kid milestone"--Horn Book Magazine<br><br>"Author-illustrator Czekaj plays reversals throughout to full comedic effect. Comics-style paneled art, rendered in ink and colored digitally, is approachable, expressive, and inclusive, with characters of differing abilities, religions, and skin tones. Adults will appreciate allusions to Mary Shelley and Edward Gorey in this entertaining subversion, which simultaneously serves as an ode to librarians."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"The illustrations are as entertaining as the text, adding a layer of humor with the reversal of what's delightful and what's fearful in the perspective of this oddly endearing little monster....An adorably soothing introduction to the potential terrors of school."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"A recommended, imaginative, and playful read-aloud perfect for preschool and early elementary school, sure to scare away the first-day-of-school nerves."--School Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong><br>
