Description
Jonah is so excited to be starting kindergarten but when he finally gets there and looks in the window, he notices that everybody else seems to know each other - and he knows nobody. He pleads with his mother to take him home again. Next day, Grandpa takes Jonah for a walk ...and lo and behold they end up at the kindergarten. Jonah doesn't want to go in, but Grandpa asks the teacher if he (Grandpa) can have a go in the sandpit! A fun time ensues, and by the end of the session, Jonah has made a friend.
