When Pa takes Jim to kindergarten for the first time, Jim asks, "Will I have a friend at school?" But even his father's gentle reassurance doesn't make Jim feel any better. He's sure that he'll never find a friend—until naptime, when he discovers someone who feels the way he does. Miriam Cohen's 1967 book for kids about to start school is just as relevant as ever, while Lillian Hoban's sensitively observed watercolor and ink illustrations are truly classic.
