Little Ghoul Goes to School / Jef Czekaj (Author, Illustrator)

• Balzer + Bray

• 2021

Little Ghoul is nervous about her first day of school. Her mom assures her that it will be great: The teachers will be scary. The lunch will be revolting! And the other classmates will be spine-tingling and creepy.

But what if Little Ghoul’s greatest fears come true—and everyone is nice?

In this hilariously silly take on a monster’s first day, Little Ghoul learns that school can be fun for creatures of every kind. - From Amazon

• First day of school - social emotional learning

• This reminded me of a flipped version of "The Teacher from the Black Lagoon" by Mike Thaler - Kids that are nervous about school starting will get a laugh out of all the "horrible" nice things happening that freak out little Ghoul. I like that the librarian features as a bright point (or dark point?) in her day, and I LOVE that she's a goth librarian. SO FUN.
