Publisher's Note On the last day of school, Gilbert is happy it's almost over and excited about the summer ahead, yet at the end-of-the-year party, Gilbert watches as his classmates receive prizes and soon begins to wonder if he will get one for being the best of something, too.
Industry Reviews DeGroat perfectly portrays the essence of the last day of school, from the strange surroundings of a classroom stripped of all decorations, to the mixed emotions of students and teachers alike. Her classic illustrations capture body language and facial expression to a T. A wonderful celebration of the end of a school year, ideal for preparing kindergartners." (04/01/2006)
