Puppy Bus: A Picture Book by Brockington, Drew

Puppy Bus is a hilarious back-to-school picture book from the creator of CatStronauts, Drew Brockington.

When a boy and his family move, he has to start all over at a new school--and gets plenty of first day jitters. The teachers will be different, he'll have to make new friends, and he won't even know where the bathroom is!

On the first day, he nervously gets on the bus, only to end up at Puppy School. Everything is strange and different--but at the end of the day, new friends prove that maybe starting at someplace new isn't so bad after all.

"Explores what first days at new schools have in common, whether the students are human or canine: feeling confused, out of place, and lonely until an overture of friendship is extended . . . A fabulous, funny take on the new-kid and first-day-of-school concepts, especially for animal lovers." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
