Going to school can be scary, but the kids at River Bottom School make saying good-bye to Mom and Dad easy. Silly reptilian and amphibian farewells help ease the anxiety of separation that children often feel when saying good-bye at the school or day care door. Bright, cheery paintings and witty text--printed on sturdy card-stock pages in a small, easy-to-hold size--complement one another in an inviting book that youngsters will ask for time and time again.
