Starting School

Peter and Benjamin Bunny have been looking forward to forest school for weeks. They will go together — which makes it manageable, which makes it exciting.

Then Peter discovers his sisters won't be there. The morning feels different than it did the night before. Mrs. Rabbit walks with him on the first day and holds his paw on the way in.

This is the book that understands what starting school actually feels like — not the cheerful anticipation, but the specific nervousness of walking into a room where you don't yet know anyone. Read it the night before. It helps.
