When a boy and his family move, he has to start all over at a new school and gets plenty of first-day jitters. The teachers will be different, he'll have to make new friends, and he won't even know where the bathroom is!

On the first day, he nervously gets on the bus, only to end up at Puppy Bus. Everything is strange and different, but at the end of the day, new friends prove that maybe starting at someplace new isn't so bad after all.
