Rufus Goes To School

rufus

All Rufus Leroy Williams III wants is to go to school so he can learn to read his favorite book. But there's one problem: he's a pig and Principal Lipid says: “NO PIGS IN SCHOOL!” Rufus even gets a backpack, a lunchbox, and a blanket to prove he's ready. But Mr. Lipid won't budge. Is there ANYTHING Rufus can do to change his mind? Kim Griswell and illustrator Valeri Gorbachev have created a love letter to reading that's also a charming, original, and child-friendly first-day-of-school story.

Rufus Goes To School is a really cute story. Like all little kids, all Rufus wants is to go to school. The story is short but definitely holds your kids attention. The pictures are awesome. I really liked this book and highly recommend it.

  1. My kids love bedtime stories so I am always on the lookout for new ones that are short enough so we can read a few. I will have to look for this one.

    This sounds like a great book for my grand kids. They are both getting ready for school and they would love this book. I will put this book on the back to school shopping list.
