Book Description
Mr. Ouchy is nervous about his first day of school . . . even though he's the teacher! Will his students like him? Will he be able to find the bathroom? What if he can't remember his students' names? Fortunately, his classroom keeps him busy; his students have plenty of their own questions, and the first day of school turns into a great day discussing things like Mr. Ouchy's funny name, how long a minute really lasts, and what everyone wants to learn in the upcoming year—things like whistling, playing drums and drawing dinosaurs.

Barbara Hennessy offers a funny twist in this first-dayof- school story.

4 out of 5 stars A story about a new teacher's first day of teaching on the first day of the school year.   January 27, 2007

I liked this book. The text was adequate, and the illustrations were pretty good. They worked well together. The book is 26 scenes long. Some scenes were 2 pages wide, and others were less than a page.

The story is about Mr. Ouchy (pronounced like Grouchy) who is nervous about his first day of teaching. It follows Mr. Ouchy from the day before to the end of the day he began his career as a teacher. And his mom still looks over him just like the mothers of his students look over them.

I would have liked the book better if the main character had been a female elementary school teacher and not such a mamma's boy. And I think the text could have been better by emphasizing the bigger aspects of the story rather than getting caught up in dialog. 4 stars!



5 out of 5 stars MY 5 YEAR OLD'S FAVORITE   November 10, 2006
I bought this when my son started at a new school. He was anxious about the new place, new school, and new friends. It quickly became his favorite (and made him realize that even teachers get nervous when school starts). I have recommended it to others and they think it is fabulous
