"Great Big Schoolhouse" is lovingly remembered by generations of children whose first day at school was undoubtedly made easier by Scarry's warm, friendly and comforting classroom. Huckle's life changes forever as he joins his classmates on the school bus; meets his teacher Miss Honey and learns the alphabet, new vocabulary, numbers and much more. Young readers are welcomed in, as they're asked to help some of Huckle's friends answer Miss Honey's 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.
