Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is the 1st day at my new school. 
Mom and Dad told me to take deep breaths and
think HAPPY THOUGHTS.
So far it isn’t working.
P.S. They also said I was old enough to walk to school by myself. Good thing I drew a map.

Stuart is pretty nervous about his first day of school, but when he accidentally ends up in a school for wild animals, he’s frantic! He tries to tell his parents that there’s been a mistake, but they just suggest he take deep breaths and think happy thoughts. It doesn’t work. Told through journal entries, readers will see how Stuart eventually calms his nerves, adjusts to his new environment, and makes new friends. This book is hilarious! What’s not to love? Clever concept, adorable illustrations, humor, heart, monkeys and beavers and bears, oh, my! Run, don’t’ walk, to your nearest bookstore or library and grab yourself a copy of MY SCHOOL STINKS!
