Product Description:
'Twas the night before kindergarten, and as they prepared,
kids were excited,
and a little bit scared.
It's the very first day of school! Join the kids as they prepare for kindergarten, packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and the hardest part of all-saying goodbye to Mom and Dad. But maybe it won't be so hard once they discover just how much fun kindergarten really is! Colorful illustrations illuminate this uplifting takeoff on the classic Clement C. Moore Christmas poem.

Our soon to be kindergartener loves this book and often asks it to be read to her. It's a really cute story with fun illustrations.

This will be a favorite storybook for younger children preparing for the very 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!

This was a GREAT book for children starting Kindergarten. My daughter was wondering why all the parents were crying at the end of the book. I guess you just have to be a parent to understand! :0)

I do not recommend because it essentially presupposes that kindergarten is a scary place and that you only need to overcome your fears when entering this frightening place. That's how it seemed to me, at least.
Instead of describing kindergarten as a fun, happy, loving place, it talks about how children are at very first afraid, but then learn to like it. Why even suggest that your child should be afraid?
Worse, in the book, all the parents stay in the classroom, outside the door watching. That's not how school works. The parents are not there, so why suggest that they are going to be at the door looking in during the day?
Not recommended. The other "night before" books I like, just not this one.

This was supposed to be a gift for a friend's birthday party which became a second gift and of course one for my very own little girl who will be entering kindergarten now in a matter of days! A wonderful, heart felt book...not too long, just right to capture the hearts and minds of parents and kids alike! Highly recommend! A+!!
