Title-Jordie’s School day Adventure
From the moment I opened Jordie’s School Day
Adventure, I knew that this was going to be one of Ms.
Leese’s best. Everyone knows the fear of that first
day of school and Ms. Leese captures this very well.
It is Jordie’s first day of pre-school. To ease her
apprehensions, her mother tucks a tiny picture of
herself into Jordie’s hand. Throughout the day, if
she wants to ‘see’ her mother, all she has to do is
open her hand and there she is. A wonderful idea!
Jordie goes about her day singing along with her
teacher, enjoying reading time, and playing outside
happily with her new playmates. Ms. Leese captures
the joy of learning, while showing children that
school is not so bad after all.
An excellent book for children just starting school!
Jordie’s School Day Adventure will capture the hearts
of children all over. I enjoyed the beautiful words
of Ms. Leese and would highly recommend it for
children from pre-school to beginning readers.

First day as school - Highly recommended
On her first day of school, Jordie excitedly dresses herself, gathers her book bag, and says goodbye to her fish on the way out the door. She sees a big bus filled with children when she and her mother arrive at school. When the time arrives for Jordie to go into the classroom, however, going to school does not seem like such a good idea. Jordie asks her mother if she can home. After her mother reassures her, Jordie begins her first day and finds out how much fun school can be.
Any child's first day at school can be a frightening and intimidating experience. Author Jennifer Leese uses her years of parenting to bring understanding of that first day's fears in JORDIE'S SCHOOL DAY ADVENTURE. Jordie's day includes the usual activities of a first day, giving parents an opportunity to not only discuss their child's fears of a first day at school, but also what to expect. With charming illustrations by Kym Jones, this delightful tale will open communication to prepare young ones for school. Highly recommended.
