Frankie Goes to School
A story about a young dog named Frankie who is nervous about starting at a new school and making friends, but learns the importance of courage.
Frankie was excited and nervous. Today was her first day at a new school! She put on her favorite pink collar and went downstairs to have breakfast with her mom.
Frankie walked into the classroom and saw many kids playing. He felt shy and held onto Max's collar. The teacher, Miss Emma, smiled and said, - Welcome, Frankie! - Can I keep Max with me? Frankie asked. - Of course, Miss Emma replied.
At playtime, Frankie wanted to join the other kids. But he was too scared to ask. He sat on a bench with Max, watching them. - What if they don't like me? Frankie whispered. Max licked his face, as if saying, - Be brave, Frankie.
After lunch, Frankie tried to play with the blocks. But another kid, Timmy, had taken them. - Can I play too? Frankie asked. Timmy shook his head. Frankie felt sad and thought, Maybe I should just go home.
Miss Emma noticed Frankie was upset. She knelt down next to him and said, - It's okay to feel scared. Everyone feels that way sometimes. Just be yourself and be brave. Frankie nodded, feeling a little better. Max wagged his tail, agreeing with Miss Emma.
During art time, Frankie decided to try again. He painted a picture of Max. A girl named Lily came over and said, - I like your painting! - Thanks! Frankie smiled. Soon, more kids joined them, and Frankie felt happy. He realized that being brave was worth it.
