Perfect for nervous/excited kids about to go to kindergarten (and their parents!). This engaging adaptation of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” convinces parents and children alike that there is no place cooler than a kindergarten classroom.
On the first day of kindergarten, there’s so much to do! From making new friends to jumping rope in gym to riding the bus to school, there are lots of exciting firsts to look forward to.
Even though saying good-bye to Mom and Dad is hard, when the school bus pulls up, it’s time to begin kindergarten fun.

This book is perfect for a child entering Kindergarten. It is upbeat and positive. It can be sung too.

This is a very sweet book, but I decided against keeping it because almost everything it talks about doing in kindergarten I believe a child who has already been to preschool (as has my gift recipient) has already done. As soon as I realized this I ordered two more similar themed books so I would have a choice as to which was the best fit for the child I had in mind. My choice was “I’m Going to Kindergarten,” by Andrea Posner-Sanchez. It’s a happy, upbeat story and talks about doing things that are specific to kindergarten and wouldn’t have likely happened in preschool.

My kid starts kindergarten tomorrow and we’ve been reading this book.
I think it’s helped with his nervousness.
