Chu’s First Day of School audiobook

This is the last Chu book by Neil Gaiman I have to read. The animals are so cute. I love the little giraffe, cuteness overload. Chu is a panda going to school for the first time so this is your basic nervous to go to school story. Chu is known for his amazing sneezes and I guess gets his name from the phenomenon. Chu is nervous and eventually finds out school is fun and he fits in. There isn't a whole lot here, but it's for very young readers and it will be perfect for them. There is a few chuckles in here.

Chu goes to school and sneezes. Not much plot development and the non-existent villain fell extremely flat.What else do you expect in this series?Audiobook CommentsI still think it's hilarious that they made an audiobook for this kids book. Read by Neil Gaiman - and (as always) he rocked the narration.YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_reads

Loads more sneezing fun . Great fun to read

Chu the sneezing panda is back and nervous about starting school. He worries if he'll like it, he worries if the others will like him, but he doesn't, oddly, worry about his sneezing. It's a pretty standard story, with nothing new to add about starting school or what school is like. The artwork is still a delight, with the last few pages at school full of vivid visual details.The teacher asks each student to say their name and one thing that they love doing. At first, the answers are cliched: the giraffe likes retrieving items from high up and the monkey likes to climb. Not exactly original. Around the circle they go with Chu last. With all the chalk dust in the air from the blackboard, it's no surprise that he sneezes, startling every one. Sadly, Chu claims his sneezing as the thing he most enjoys doing and then the story cuts to him at home saying how much everyone liked him. Really? We didn't see anything to substantiate that claim. Sure they're smiling after his sneeze but how does that translate to being liked?Despite the cliches and story inconsistencies, the story and artwork are cute and I think most preschoolers and kindergartners will enjoy the book and relate to Chu's nervousness. It did make me smile.

Basic Plot: It's all in the title.The art in this book is simply adorable. There are some truly wonderful, subtle details to the pictures to get any small child talking about what characters are thinking/feeling and what is happening. Gaiman's simple prose had my son anticipating the pattern of the story and excitedly reciting along on the first read through. Impressive. I adore Neil Gaiman, and Chu just gives me another reason to keep on doing so.

Gaiman is back with his signature quirky style in this fun follow-up to Chu's Day. It's Chu's first day of school and he wants new friends...but can he keep his secret for long? I adore these books and want them to keep going forever.

The first line of the book felt out of place: "There was a thing Chu could do." It didn't need to be there, but I realized author Neil Gaiman wanted to set us up early on. It definitely served as a "hook." Otherwise, we may feel like this is another first day of school kind of book...which it is. Chu is nervous about going to school. He worried whether the kids would like him or if they would be nice. When he got to school, each student shared what they love to do, but Chu found himself speechless until the very end, when we find out the special thing he does.What I love about the book is the character, Chu. He is lovable! Though I may be biased since I love pandas. I also love the beautiful and fun illustration style of Adam Rex, which brings life to the characters and the story. I love the repetition of words, perfect for reading aloud: "I love to ______. What about you?" "Chu didn't say anything." And I love the surprise that will surely tickle the young reader. The storyline is simple and lacking in plot in the traditional sense. This makes the story come across as scant, but nevertheless, I found Chu's First Day of School entertaining!

These are not his best nor my favorite of Gaiman’s work, but there’s something in the utter simplicity of them, in their short succinct nothingness that I find irresistible. Plus, Adam Rex’s illustrations for this little panda make me swoon!

This book is simply adorable. I can't handle a kid's book about pandas, my second favorite animal

It was very adorable

Gaiman lo escribe y Shio lo lee.Otra entrega de las historias de Chu, al parecer este es el tomo 2, por lo cuál yo tenía leído el 1 y el 3. Excelente servicio se puede leer de forma independiente.Esta vez el hermoso panda protagonista, Chu, tiene su primer día de clase y obvio tiene todos los temores que tenemos en cada año de comienzo escolar ante el nuevo y desconocido universo que representará ese salón de clase con los sujetos desconocidos.Bonus: hay un mono con la remera de Brasil.Excelente servicio.

My mom read this book to me in the library because she spotted Neil Gaiman's name on the cover. She was curious to see what Gaiman would write in a children's book, as she is a lover of his novel-turned-movie, Stardust. Chu is a panda who goes to school with lots of other animals. On the first day of school, they each share something about themselves. Chu is worried he won't have anything to share. The illustrations were realistic (if animals wore clothes and went to school!), but they weren't exactly the cute style I prefer.
