If you have a young one getting ready to go to kindergarten this is one fun book you won't want to p

Getting ready for your first day of school is a very exiting thing, especially if you are old enough to go to kindergarten. Lucy is going to start school in only seven days and is in the kitchen looking at the calendar on the refrigerator. Her eyes are wide with excitement, but her Mom tells her to "be patient, do not worry." She's very excited and on Monday she is playing and talking to herself in her room. "I'll be ready, I'll be smart. I will get a running start. I'll say thank you, I'll say please. I will say my ABCs!" As the week goes by Lucy thinks of all the things she will do when she gets there and all the smart things she can already do. By Wednesday she is thinking of what she will wear. By Thursday she knows what she'll bring for "show-and-tell." She's marking off the days and she's keeping a very close watch on Monday, the day with the star on it. This little book, a perfect one for little hands, is simply marvelous. The rhyming text is adorable and the complimentary art work shows brings the excitement to the book. If you have a young one getting ready to go to kindergarten this is one fun book you won't want to pass up!
