We bought the bag for First Grade last year. It is quite spacious and of excellent durability. It will definitely stay for Second Grade this year. I got the "book" pencil case as a set and this year I will get the backpack for a change... It's great and definitely worth the money. Especially now that it is more affordable. I bought it last year for an additional €15. Finally, the design is wonderful and the colors are vibrant... It stands out from the classic Barbie and other choices that most people make. It's super for kids with taste!
