Klappentext

A perfect back-to-school book...with a twist! For little kids everywhere who feel anxious leaving home to go back to school.

A Kids' Indie Next Pick!

Never, Not Ever! is the instant classic from Beatrice Alemagna?a laugh-out-loud tribute to little kids everywhere who would prefer not to leave home on the first day of school.

The other animals are marching dutifully to school, but Pascaline could care less. ?Never, not ever!? she declares. She's NOT going. And nothing?not even her parents pulling her by her feet?will change her mind.

She shrieks so loudly that her parents shrink down to the size of peanuts?becoming just the right size to fit snugly under Pascaline's wing. Now they can all go to school together!

In Never, Not Ever! award-winning picture book creator Beatrice Alemagna reminds us that small children need their parents to be close by . . . but not too close.
