C'est la rentrée, et madame Pépin ne veut pas aller à l'école Alors qu'elle s'apprête à retourner dans son lit douillet, le directeur de l'école tente de la convaincre que c'est normal pour les professeurs peur le premier jour d'école.

Malgré tout, madame Pépin est anxieuse. Et si personne ne l'aimait? Lorsqu'elle se trouve finalement devant la classe, elle voit que les enfants sont nerveux eux aussi. Il lui vient alors une idée qui permettra de détendre tout le monde… y compris elle-même.

Un livre parfait à lire à voix haute aux enfants qui sont un peu nerveux à l'idée de commencer l'école.

It's the first day of school and madame Pépin is certain about one thing: she isn't going! As she snuggles back under the covers, the doorbell rings. In comes Mr. Bellweather, the school principal, who assures her that all kindergarten teachers have first day jitters.

Still, madame Pépin is anxious. What if she can't find her class? What if no one likes her? When she finally stands at the front of her class, she can tell that the children are nervous too. That's when she comes up with an idea to put everyone at ease—including herself.

A perfect read-aloud to children who may be anxious about school, this book will get them laughing—and reassure them—as they get ready for the big day.
