Synopsis

From the best-selling author of the hugely popular Kindergarten, Here I Come!, here's a guidebook in verse that shows children how to be kind in the new and exciting world of kindergarten.

Small enough to fit in a child's backpack, this collection of short poems--one to a page--spans the entire year of kindergarten, offering sweet and simple tips on how to be your best self--sharing your umbrella with a friend; taking turns on the swings, and inviting someone to join in a game. This is the perfect companion to DJ Steinberg's enormously successful Kindergarten, Here I Come!

Reviews

PreS-K—Digital art, bright colors, and a cast of cartoon characters with features and skin tones that present ethnic and racial diversity join with rhyming verse to remind readers of the importance of kindness to others, all in a kindergarten setting. Each scenario offers reminders on how to show care: opening doors for a child using a wheelchair, reaching out to help a fallen friend, inviting a shy child to join in, sharing at lunch with others, taking turns, making cards for sick friends, or welcoming newcomers. VERDICT A suggested general purchase for libraries, this creates numerous examples and opportunity for discussion while providing understanding and encouragement of kindness toward all.—Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano I.S.D., TX
