Jack fell down and broke his crown, but what if Jill told the rhyme? In this novel approach to nursery rhymes, half the book holds the classic rhyme, while the flip side holds a fractured version that starts from the back. Whimsical art adds to the flip side fun.

Stella the Mouse, Nico the Toad, Delilah the Spider, and Bo the Parakeet are four animal friends that live in the school; Stella came in from the outside, Nico was a classroom pet (until he escaped), Delilah hatched in a corner of the teacher's lounge, and Bo goes home with his human (a teacher) on weekends--but they all love watching the students work and play, and at night they have each other.

Stella the Mouse, Nico the Toad, Delilah the Spider, and Bo the Parakeet are animal best friends who live in a school. They are so excited to see the children arrive on the first day of school in the fall! But they notice that some children are smaller than the rest, and very nervous. Is it possible that these children are brand new to school? The animal friends must do everything they can to make the new children feel at home, and help them to love school as much as the friends do. They want to make sure that everybody is ready for a new year of fun!
