Reviews

Sarah, Duchess of York, has been in the news lately, and not for her new Helping Hand series. But this entry, which follows young Emily on her first day of kindergarten, strikes a nice tone for new students. Emily can’t quite imagine what school will be like, and despite her mother’s assurances that the day will fly by, she doubts it. Yet between meeting her classmates, storytime, and especially art, her mom is back to pick her up before she knows it. The simple computer-enhanced art features a wide-eyed family and students placed against plain backgrounds. The helpful hints that conclude offer plenty of solid advice parents will appreciate. Preschool-Grade 1. --Ilene Cooper
