The excitement of a child's first few years at school, from the drinking fountain that only the big kids can use to a new box of crayons, is captured in a colorful, brightly illustrated collection of poetry.

Kay Winter is the author of several books for children including Colonial Voices: Hear them Speak, Voices from the Oregon Trail, My Teacher for President and Did You See What I Saw? A former second-grade teacher, she strongly believes in the value of making history fin and accessible for children. She lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
PreSchool-Grade 3?Winters's two dozen brief poems cover a range of topics from a school bus to a drinking fountain, from common ailments (runny nose to chicken pox) to holidays. For the most part, the poems are an insubstantial lot, lacking fresh imagery or distinctive language. "Groundhog Day" and "Behind Closed Doors" do have a delightful sense of whimsy. Weston's pleasant pen-and-ink drawings ably complement the book's lighthearted tone. Overall, though, it's a less-than-memorable treatment of an ever-popular subject.?Marilyn Taniguchi, Santa Monica Public Library, CA
