First Day Critter Jitters

The first day of school brings all kinds of jitters to a classroom full of critters! First Day Critter Jitters is a hilariously relatable back-to-school book written by bestselling author Jory John and illustrated by Liz Climo. Every animal has a different worry, especially Sloth who is afraid that he may be too slow to make it to school on time. Now, readers can share their back-to-school fears with their very own First Day Critter Jitters Sloth. Made with soft grey plush and measuring over 7 inches, Sloth has an expressive embroidered face and carries a backpack with a pocket perfect for holding special notes of encouragement and love.  

It's almost the first day of school, and the animals are nervous. Sloth worries about getting there on time, Snake can't seem to get his backpack fastened onto his body, and Bunny is afraid she'll want to hop around instead of sitting still. When they all arrive at their classroom, though, they're in for a surprise: Somebody else is nervous too. It's their teacher, the armadillo! He has rolled in as a ball, and it takes him a while to relax and unfurl. But by the next day, the animals have all figured out how to help one another through their jitters. School isn't so scary after all.
