About the Book

When Jonathan had to go to kindergarten he was not very happy and when Jonathan was sad, Potbelly was sad too. For one thing his name was too long and the “J” always came out backwards. This meant Jonathan couldn’t go to recess and he couldn’t play with his best friend Amy Susan. But everything changed when a new friend named Jennifer came to kindergarten . . . That’s Jennifer with a “J”.
