My First Day of School

After several conversations with my toddler revealed a high degree of anxiety in starting preschool, I decided to buy this book. I will admit, I mainly bought the book due to the fact that my son and the boy in the book both have red hair. However, it is well written and describes the progression of a school day very well. I find that it works well for preschool as well as for kindergarten (what it was intended for I believe). It is a new house favorite of my son's reading collection and I am happy to report his first day of preschool was successful.

I bought this for my little one who is set to start kindergarten in the fall. I like that the illustrations include a lot of diversity, including people with various skin tones and a girl in a wheelchair. The rhyming and rhythm is lovely, and a wide variety of "scenes" help to show what the first day of kindergarten will be like.

My daughter liked this book.

so cute. this will be a keepsake for our daughter first day of school

I love this book! Cheerful rhyme and adorable illustrations. What a sweet book to read to young children as they learn about school, as they prepare to go off to school, and as they sit in their new class! I would recommend this book to everyone. This book feels modern (referencing the mom taking lots of pictures, the children's names, etc), yet classic. The ending is perfect.
