Book Reviews of The Night Before Kindergarten
Book Review: Tears of Joy
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a wonderful book for kids and parents. For those who are concerned about the parents crying in the story, make them cry tears of happiness and the kids will understand, and change the words. The story is right on target here where we live. There is no bus, so we share in carpool. I don't know if I would send my 5-year-old on a big yellow bus the first day or two or not if we did have one. I teach prekindergarten, and use the book for my class too. It's awesome. Also recommended to all of my parents, Mommy-CEO, which also has plenty of tips on family, school and everything in between. Both books have been well accepted by all of my parents and they really enjoy them.Book Review: Perfection (With a Twist!)
Summary: 5 Stars
This will be a favorite storybook for younger children preparing for the first day at school! All over the town, there are children tossing and turning in their beds, worried about teachers, friends, leaving play and family behind, "while visions of school supplies danced in their heads."
Of course, all is well! The teacher is the best and it's the parents in the end who shed a tear or two as they leave their kindergarten scholars behind!
Kids will enjoy hearing this story over and over again! A really sweet read for parents and children!
Book Review: Very Cute and Clever
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my granddaughter and for a friend's child who is entering kindergarten. Loved the idea of making children aware that this is a big step for them but somewhat bitter-sweet for their parents. Mentioned leaving their baby things behind as they go into the big school world. Pictures were very up to date--clothes, backpacks, school supplies. Very well done. I would extend the age range for appropriate readership through kindergarten age and not limit it to preschool.Book Review: A Must Read for the New Kindergartener, and parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
My child's school passed this book out to our Kindergarteners before school started just to prepare them (and us) for their first day of school. This book does a wonderful job of preparing the children for school, what to expect, etc., and even talks about the jitters on that first day. But, as a parent, be VERY careful when you get towards the end because I GUARANTEE that it will make you cry! This is a great book and I highly recommend it!Book Review: Great Read for new kindergarteners!
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this book in the mail coming from our new kindergarten teacher.
My daughter (5) loved the story - she found the part where the parents cry amusing!
This book accurately described our actual experience the first day so for us there were no surprises and my daughter loves the fact that there is a beautiful rhymed story about our experience.
