Back to School Books for Kids

School has just started back here in Arizona and back to school season is in full swing! We did our back to school shopping, we talked about back to school expectations and we're excited to see our teachers and friends again.

We love good, themed books and back to school can be full of first day, new school, or new friend jitters.

Here are some of our favorite back to school books for kids aged preschool to middle school!
