Pinkalicious and the New Teacher

Change is difficult. Learning to accept change can be even more difficult, especially for children. That’s why there are great books like Pinkalicious and the New Teacher to help kids understand that new doesn’t necessarily mean scary.

It’s the first day of school and Pinkalicious is ready to see her friends again and show off all her new dazzling pink accessories (lunch box, boots, dress…). In all the excitement, Pinkalicious forgets that this year she’ll have a brand new teacher (Ms. Penny), a new seating arrangement (across the room from her BFF Alison) and no more shaggy reading rug for story time (bean bag chairs will have to do)! To top it off, Ms. Penny puts a star sticker on her work instead of the smiley face Pinkalicious was used to getting last year! Read Pinkalicious and the New Teacher to find out what Ms. Penny does to make Pinkalicious feel safe and a part of her new classroom.

After reading this fun book, hang the included fold-out poster on your wall. It features Pinkalicious having fun reading. There’s also a page of fantastic stickers and eight double-sided bookmarks. What a great way to encourage reading!
