Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Tucker's Four-Carrot School Day
Susan Winget · 2005
75/100
👍 Worth It
This is a steady, warm first-day-of-school book that earns its praise from both major review outlets. Tucker's mishaps feel honest rather than exaggerated, and the secret family photo in the backpack is a small detail that parents will love as much as children. The genre is crowded, but this one's cozy execution and professional critical reception put it a step above the average.
