Dixie Duckling is an adorable little duck who always wants to learn more about the world around her. In this installment, she experiences something all new: her first day of school!
When it comes to new things, Dixie is always ready! She's met new friends, learned about different animals, and realized that the people who are different from us can teach us many things. Today is another "new" for Dixie: going to school for her very first day!
However, when Dixie wakes up, she notices that her tummy feels a little funny. Mommy Duck tells her what's going on: there are butterflies in her tummy because she's a little nervous for her first day.
Mommy Duck and Dixie talk about all the fun school can be. From toys and games, to learning new things, to making friends and spending time with ones you already know... what's not to love?
Will she have fun? Will she make new friends? You'll have to finish Dixie Duckling: First Day of School to find out!
