The animals in the barn are in a tizzy. Tommy didn't show up at his usual time! The dog tells them Tommy is gone-a big yellow bus took him to a place called kindergarten. "Where is kindergarten?" they exclaim. "What will happen to Tommy there? Will he ever come back?!" Eventually Tommy bursts into the barn with tales of all he learned in kindergarten including- A is for apple, B is for biscuit, C is for corn, and D is for dandelions (the treats he brings for each animal), and everyone is happy Tommy is going to school. A charming, tender story that's sure to reassure any child heading to kindergarten and everyone waiting at home to hear all about it.
Written by Jessica Harper and illustrated by Brian Karas, A Place Called Kindergarten is about all the barn animals wondering why Timmy doesn't come see them at the usual time (when the sun rises over the oak tree). What they don't realize until Timmy comes running into the barn in the afternoon is that he has starting going to kindergarten! When Timmy shows what he has been learning that first day in school by giving alphabetized treats to the animals (A is for apple; B is for biscuit; C is for corn, D is for dandelions) they are happy for Timmy - and themselves! A Place Called Kindergarten is especially recommended and fun reading for children having to deal with the anxiety of going to school for the first time.
