Mr. S

On the first day of kindergarten in room 2B, the students arrive to find no teacher — just a sandwich on the desk and the mysterious letters 'Mr. S' on the chalkboard.

For the kid who's nervous about a new teacher or a new classroom, this turns first-day jitters into an absurd mystery that's more funny than scary.
