This picture book is perfect for parents of kids who are nervous or scared about going to school。 It makes school seem very exclusive and helps the kid want to go on his/her own， so it's all about empowerment and helping our kids push us away and decide to start school—on their own。 “Sorry， grown-ups， you can't go to school。 Only kids and teachers。 Only kids and teachers。” is a phrase that repeats throughout the book， making it a fun read with kids。To listen to my interview with the author， go t This picture book is perfect for parents of kids who are nervous or scared about going to school。 It makes school seem very exclusive and helps the kid want to go on his/her own， so it's all about empowerment and helping our kids push us away and decide to start school—on their own。 “Sorry， grown-ups， you can't go to school。 Only kids and teachers。 Only kids and teachers。” is a phrase that repeats throughout the book， making it a fun read with kids。To listen to my interview with the author， go to my podcast at:https://zibbyowens。com/transcript/chr。。。 。。。more

The day begins normal as Lady and Buddy prepare to go to school， but things are flipped on its head as Lady and Buddy's parents， and grandparents are asking to attend school also。 After several negative responses to their requests， the parents are left behind for the day。 The day begins normal as Lady and Buddy prepare to go to school， but things are flipped on its head as Lady and Buddy's parents， and grandparents are asking to attend school also。 After several negative responses to their requests， the parents are left behind for the day。 。。。more

The book Sorry， Grown- Ups， You Can't Go to School is about grandparents and parents who want to go to school with their children。 The kids repeat that school is only for kids and teachers。 The parents end up not attending school and dropping the kids off。 At the end， the kids mention that they will be going to work with the adults tomorrow。 The book Sorry， Grown- Ups， You Can't Go to School is about grandparents and parents who want to go to school with their children。 The kids repeat that school is only for kids and teachers。 The parents end up not attending school and dropping the kids off。 At the end， the kids mention that they will be going to work with the adults tomorrow。 。。。more

As far as back to school books go， this book had a relatively unique & fun premise， which featured an entertaining role reversal。 In which the parents & grandparents wanted to go to school， and the kids denied them saying that school was only meant for kids and teachers！Now I am sure nothing works on all kids， but I personally feel like this kind of reverse psychology works on most kids。 I know it works on mine。 Especially considering that this book portrays school as something really desirable As far as back to school books go， this book had a relatively unique & fun premise， which featured an entertaining role reversal。 In which the parents & grandparents wanted to go to school， and the kids denied them saying that school was only meant for kids and teachers！Now I am sure nothing works on all kids， but I personally feel like this kind of reverse psychology works on most kids。 I know it works on mine。 Especially considering that this book portrays school as something really desirable & fun， and more importantly。。 super exclusive！Which is why I definitely recommend to keep this one in your back to school books collection。 - Shantala @ Shanaya Tales 。。。more

The book， Sorry Grown-Ups， You Can’t go to School， is a book about a brother and sister that are about to go to their first day of school。 While eating breakfast on the first day， their mom comes downstairs with her new backpack and then her dad comes downstairs with his new sneakers。 Soon， their grandparents arrived at their front door also with backpacks。 The kids explained that none of them could go to school， only they could。 In response， their parents and grandparents replied that they want The book， Sorry Grown-Ups， You Can’t go to School， is a book about a brother and sister that are about to go to their first day of school。 While eating breakfast on the first day， their mom comes downstairs with her new backpack and then her dad comes downstairs with his new sneakers。 Soon， their grandparents arrived at their front door also with backpacks。 The kids explained that none of them could go to school， only they could。 In response， their parents and grandparents replied that they wanted to go to school to participate in all the fun activities that they would be participating In like playing with their friends at recess， science experiments， and read books。 After that， the parents dropped the two kids off at school to have a very enjoyable first day。 tA major theme of this story is to get kids excited about attending school。 Reading this， kids may start to like school better because they could become aware that they do fun things at school and they may even start to believe that school is so fun even their parents want to go too。 tI thought that this book was exceptionally creative。 It is a great way to get kids excited about attending school as many kids could be very sad that summer is over。 After reading this book， they could realize that attending school is very cool。 This book could leave kids with a positive viewpoint of school and it could help them get excited about attending every day。 tI think that kids in all grades of lower school should read this book。 I think it is important for kids to have a positive mindset about school at an early age so they always think highly of it and always want to attend school。 Reading this book could get kids to get more excited to attend school and they may even start to like to school more。 I think it would be very beneficial for adults to read this to their children so that they can always think of school as a positive thing all throughout their life。 。。。more

I didn't love this one， but it did come in handy when my son hesitated on his first day of preschool and asked why I wasn't coming in with him。 "Only kids and teachers， remember？！" and he was like OH YEAH and went right in。 :） I didn't love this one， but it did come in handy when my son hesitated on his first day of preschool and asked why I wasn't coming in with him。 "Only kids and teachers， remember？！" and he was like OH YEAH and went right in。 :） 。。。more

Okay， this was better than I thought it would be。 I wasn't wild about the illustration style but the story is pretty cute。 Mom， dad， grandpa， grandma AND their dog， all want to go to school with the kids。 The kids have to be like， "Noooo！" Okay， this was better than I thought it would be。 I wasn't wild about the illustration style but the story is pretty cute。 Mom， dad， grandpa， grandma AND their dog， all want to go to school with the kids。 The kids have to be like， "Noooo！" 。。。more

A funny take on 'take your kids to work day'， these grown-ups want to go to school but the kids keep telling them no。 In the end the kids remind the parents that they are going to work with them the next day。 A funny take on 'take your kids to work day'， these grown-ups want to go to school but the kids keep telling them no。 In the end the kids remind the parents that they are going to work with them the next day。 。。。more
