Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It will be released May 4, 2021 by Kids Can Press.
Pom, who is only four, heads off to explore what happens at school for their animal friends.
Mouslings are just arriving for the day when Pom gets to Nutcracker school.
At Hopalot School for rabbits, bunnies are learning to read, write and count. (I adored the rooftop garden there.)
The frogs at Cattail Academy are drawing, painting and making music.
Pom joins the foxes in their exercise program at Foxtrot School and has lunch with bears at Honeycomb School.
At Sleepytime School Pom is happy to nap with the sloths.
As the day progresses Pom visits squirrels as they learn about nature, reads with wolf pups in the library, and watches turtles tidying up. Pom visits the hedgehogs at Quill Academy after school before finally heading home.
Enchanting is the word for this picture book. Marianne Dubuc fills this book with details showing us many stories beyond Pom's own journey. It reminds me of the Richard Scary books my boys used to pore over when they were young. I'm charmed that Pom is a nongendered character. I was delighted by the fairy tale characters who showed up at the different schools.
I've already put orders in to send copies of this to my almost four year old grandkids. I think they will love the active format of this picture book. Hopefully they will enjoy poring over the many glorious details. By following along with Pom's adventures it will help them get ready for kindergarten too.
