Great list, Travis! One of our favorites, “School’s First Day of School,” by Adam Rex, illustrated by Christian Robinson, might be a good addition to your group (though from 2016). For some others, our site (www.artofthepicturebook.com) has a list under Back-to-school Books (catchy, we know!). Thanks for posting your list. We will look to update ours.
