Welcome To Kindergarten

 


Title: Welcome to Kindergarten
Author & Illustrator: Anne Rockwell
Publisher: Walker & Company 

In the book Welcome to Kindergarten by Anne Rockwell, I observed that she focuses on all the fun things kids will get to do when they go to school.The way that she illustrates the book is amazing. She takes it to a new level, a level for children to truly understand. It breaks it down to a typical day of school for a kindergartner. Even though this is a big place it is shown as a safe place just for him.  

The main character is nervous about kindergarten until he attends an open house and is able to explore his kindergarten room. The gentle, positive tone is perfect for kids about to start school.
I know because this was read to my kindergarten class at open house. I think helped the children make a positive connection with the teacher.
