    About Batter Up for the First Day of School!

    A playful, baseball-themed first-day-of-school adventure!

    Wake up, Sluggers. It’s time to . . .
    Batter up for the first day of school!

    It’s the first day of school at Grand Slam Elementary, and there is much to do before the Twins can step up to the plate! After putting on their uniforms, fueling up for the day, and doing an equipment check, the kids are ready to slide into first period. Opening day is full of curveballs, but the innings fly by until the kids return to home base, excited to do it all again tomorrow!

    With plenty of punny prose and playful baseball terms, this humorous read-aloud is the perfect way to get little sluggers ready for the first day of school.
