Now they are back at school
There are some great books for kids about being in school - after that first day seems like only a memory.
I love Laura Numeroff's book for the younger crowd - If You Take a Mouse to School:
And Yoko by Rosemary Wells, really a book about tolerance and understanding (some) cultural differences:
For a book that addresses teasing in a very funny way, try Hooway for Wodney Wat, by Helen Lester:
and if you are already reading Ms. Lester, don't miss out on Tacky the Penguin, and very funny, Score One for the Sloths:
A hilarious series, literally laugh out loud, by Barbara Robinson starts with The Best (WORST) School Year Ever - introducing your child to the horrible Hurdmans who make school life both very interesting and very annoying:
and finally - for the much older students looking for the original boarding school series, where kids take center stage, you can't beat Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers series, or St. Clare's. For these I have to use older covers - the new ones just don't do the books justice.
I hope there is lots to enjoy about settling into life back at school.

For older kids, try Mama Don't Go, by Rosemary Wells, and even slightly older, Miss Nelson is Missing, by Harry Allard:
