Bad things happen when he sneezes, especially when he tries holding it in! When Chu goes to school for the first time in CHU'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, Chu's classmates all get to do a Show-And-Tell of One Thing They Love To Do. In CHU'S DAY, we're introduced to Chu, a little panda with a very, VERY big sneeze. So if Chu enjoys going to school for the first time after being worried about it, they know they will, too! When kids love certain characters, they want to be just like them and emulate their heroes. He previously awed kids everywhere in CHU'S DAY (Which just released in board book form!) and will return next year in CHU'S DAY AT THE BEACH. Many kids will have heard of Chu before, too. His stories are written by popular fantasy author Neil Gaiman, so parents will pick this one up on name recognition alone. This year, a new book bound to become a School Classic is CHU'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL by Neil Gaiman with illustrations by Adam Rex.ĬHU has a lot of things working in his favor. Go into your local bookstore in early August and you'll see displays stuffed with such titles. Did you know that there's a huge market for school books, especially ones talking about that all-important First Day?
