Great Big Schoolhouse is lovingly remembered by generations of American children whose first day at school was undoubtedly made easier by Scarry€s warm, friendly, and comforting classroom. Huckle€s life changes forever as he joins his classmates on the school bus; meets Miss Honey, his sympathetic teacher; and learns the alphabet, new vocabulary, numbers, the days of the week, and the hours of the day. Of course, there€s recess, show and tell, and a few unexpected adventures, too! Young readers are welcomed in, as they€re asked to help some of Huckle€s friends answer Miss Honey€s questions.Beautifully produced, this is the perfect gift for any child approaching school age-and the flip side of the dust jacket hides a fun surprise: a Richard Scarry A-Z wall poster.
