K-Gr 2—Martha is getting ready for her first day of school. Her little bunny brothers are sad to be left behind, so she sets them up with a Happy Bunny Club, a kind of den filled with toys, cushions, etc. And she has to decide which of her favorite things to put in her backpack. The bright collage illustrations include lots of fonts, doodles, and pictures to support the text. Unfortunately, some of the language doesn't match a child's voice: "While I'm at school having fun, I know my bunny brothers are…waiting…waiting…until—'I'm back!' They go crazy with joy to see me." Although the book's title indicates a school story, all of the action takes place at home, with no scenes at school. An additional purchase for larger collections.—Laura Stanfield, Campbell County Public Library, Ft. Thomas, KY
