Great Big Schoolhouse is lovingly remembered by generations of children whose first day at school was undoubtedly made easier by Scarrys warm, friendly and comforting classroom. Huckles 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, theres break-time, show and tell and a few unexpected adventures, too! Young readers are welcomed in, as theyre asked to help some of Huckles friends answer Miss Honeys 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.
