My First Day of School

By Nancy J. Skarmeas

Book Overview

Ages 4 to 6 years. A picture book that takes the intimidating prospect of starting school and transforms it into an appealing adventure. The more five-year-old Daniel hears about kindergarten, the more he wants nothing to do with it. His pre-school days are filled with swimming lessons, library time, and fun with Grandma, Mom, and his baby sister -- just the way he likes it. As the big first day approaches, Daniel, full of jitters, meets the excitement of the adults around him with scepticism. Vivid, playful illustrations help propel the reader along as each of Daniel's fears is overcome. With good-natured humour and sympathy, this entertaining book allays this oh-so-common fear of change.

Customer Reviews

Funny, cute and informative

I received this book as a gift for my preschool child. He was a little nervous about starting school and I think this book really helped him prepare. He's now in second grade and doing great. Great illustrations too. I recommend this book to anybody with young children whether they are ready for school or not.
