This is a sweet book about the last day of school. I think this would be a great book to read to help prepare for the last day of school and to read in a classroom in the last day! The narration is great and I enjoyed the added sound effects. I definitely recommend listening to this audiobook!

This was so, so cute! Tara Novie did an excellent job of narrating in a friendly, excited way! I can definitely see this audio being played during book or wind-down time in classrooms and homes. As an adult, the writing seemed poetic, especially towards the end! Maggie C. Rudd wrote an excellent children's book that shines a positive spotlight on school! Very wholesome, very positive, very cute! 5/5 stars from me!

This would be a perfect read for a teacher in grades PK-1st grade to read on the last day of school. The book goes through everything a young student would experience throughout a school year and keeps it positive and lighthearted.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced reader copy.

The narrator did such a beautiful job, however the best part of this audiobook was the background noises and truly making you feel like you're immersed in the last day of school. Feels like it was written by a teacher because it has the perspective of the student, but a reminder of the teachers being their for the students. I truly enjoyed this and I imagine it would make an incredible companion to the actual book. I would highly recommend this, especially for children who will soon experience a "last day of school". It serves as a perfect example of what they may experience, especially if they are anxious for the end of the school year.

Thank you, Macmillian, for this gifted advanced listening copy received via Netgalley.

This audio is perfect for little kids and parents alike. I loved the rhyming prose. The message was upbeat, and the words were uplifting. It was a great reminder of all the growth that happened over the school year. I particularly enjoyed the sound effects, from the sounds of a bus to the rustling of a brown bag lunch! I know my five and two year old will enjoy listening to this in the car!

On The Last Day Of School, written by Maggie C. Rudd and read by Tara Novie, is a great book for young readers. This book talks about children as they experience their last day of school, how they look back at how they have grown through the year, and look forward to the summer and their future time in school. I loved the way this author focuses on the relationships with the students and their peers and teachers, as well as the growth that happens through the school year. I think this would be a great book to read to prepare students for their end of year celebrations!
Thank you to NetGalley, and to the author, publisher, and narrator of this book for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This book written in rhyme really depicts what the last day of school means to the children. A teacher could read this on the last day of school and have the children illustrate what they feel too.

The story, sound effects, and music were all well done. I would definitely recommend this book and would add this book to my child's library. I will check out more books from Rudd as well.

On the Last Day of School is a short and sweet story about things that may happen on the last day of school. It is told in rhyme and the narrator speaks very clearly, which is a benefit for potential kiddo listeners. I can't speak to all the illustrations since I listened to audio only, but the cover is cute and colorful. This would be a great audio for the last days of school in early to mid elementary school.

Thanks to Macmillan Audio for an ALC of this audiobook for an honest review.
