It's the night before preschool, and a little boy named Billy is so nervous he can't fall asleep. The friends he makes the next day at school give him a reason not to sleep the next night, either: he's too excited about going back! The book's simple rhyming text and sweet illustrations will soothe any child's fears about the first day of school.

Es la noche antes del primer día de preescolar, y un chico llamado Billy está tan nervioso que no logra conciliar el sueño. Al otro día, en la escuela, hace nuevos amigos, así que ahora existe otra razón para desvelarse también esa noche: ¡tiene demasiadas ganas de regresar! El sencillo texto rimado y las adorables ilustraciones de este libro calmarán el miedo de cualquier niño al primer día de escuela.
