Adorable, Brightly Colored with Upbeat Rhymes

This book is a particular favorite of mine from my children's library of books. It has colorful, exciting illustrations of life in kindergarten. The words are lively rhymes that will excite and prepare your child for the days of kindergarten. Wonderful to read all at once or a section at a time. Sections include events such as a pizza party, Halloween, Thanksgiving and show-and-tell. Extremely fun and enough to get any child excited about kindergarten. I like that the children in the book are people and not animal characters, really helps children to identify more easily. Highly recommend.

A joyful read

This is a fun book of poems for young children. While the theme of the poems is a day at kindergarten, kids both older and younger will enjoy these rhymes also. There are pomes about holiday celebrations, riddles where the children you read to will be shouting out the rhyming answer and more. This book will be great for teachers and librarians to use with groups, and parents can also share it one on one with their children. The illustrations are bright and fun.
