Did you hear? The stores are currently stocked with pencils, notebooks, and crayons even though it feels like the school year just ended (well, here in the Northeast, it really did just a few weeks ago). Needless to say, even though we don\u2019t go back to the classroom until after Labor Day, I\u2019ve already started making our school supply lists. In addition to the requisite backpacks and water bottles, this year I\u2019ve added a few books to our shopping cart. Here are five titles guaranteed to get your young student excited about the upcoming school year. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This colorful board book is perfect for children heading off to preschool or kindergarten for the very first time.

With a die-cut cover and playful illustrations, we hope this rhyming read helps ease some first-day jitters for little ones (and their parents, too!). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
