1) Paperback Book Welcome to Kindergarten by Walker Books for Young Readers. We bought this for our 5 year old son, who will be soon entering kindergarten. We read it everynight and he loves it! The text of the story is neat and the pictures are very colorful, has alot of detail, and my son asks many questions. We like it because it provides important information to a child entering kindergarten and gives them a chance to understand the transition and what to expect. At open house, my son´s teacher had this book on the classroom shelf and it made our son think this is cool and we really enjoyed that! Good Book! Would buy again or recommend it to a child entering kindergarten!¤

2) Paperback Book Welcome to Kindergarten by Walker Books for Young Readers. Anne Rockwell´s calm "Welcome to Kindergarten" is a winning way to introduce any preschooler to the idea of what comes next in the way of schooling. Tim, a little boy about to enter kindergarten, goes to the school with his mother--he´s clearly nervous and comments on how foreign everything is, and how big the furniture, halls, and classroom are. But after his teacher has had an opportunity to show him around the different classroom areas (art, science, reading, math, and so on), Tim finds that he´s more than ready for kindergarten--he´s positively excited about it.

Rockwell´s simplistic paintings accompany concise text and they complement each other beautifully. The colors are strong and clear, the details just right, and the movement from one classroom area to another helps to mimic what an actual kindergarten school day will be like. Just right for young kiddos who may harbor a little nervousness about that all-important first day!¤

3) Paperback Book Welcome to Kindergarten by Walker Books for Young Readers. A visually winning and educational book for preschoolers reading for school. Tim is a 5 year old visiting a kindergarten class before he starts school. In self-narration, he tells the reader that he is nervous, but he soon learns of all the fun things he will do, including crafts. Tim also discovers that he will learn how to count, write, and how to measure and make cookies. At the end of the day, Tim concludes that kindergarten will be an exciting place.

Rockwell´s use of color is the main highlight of this work. The primary colors burst forth in vibrancy, accentuated and augmented by the use of watercolors. The art looks as if it could have been drawn by a child, which surely will create a sense of realism for the young reader. The absence of lines and pencils presents depth and texture to the art, but children will be drawn into the book by the actions of their peers in the story. A good book for preschool storytime to prepare children for school.¤

4) Paperback Book Welcome to Kindergarten by Walker Books for Young Readers. I just used this book in the first storytime of the school year and it was a hit! The illustrations are very inviting and it really explains school in easy-to-understand terms for preschoolers. It takes some of the fear out of it all. :)¤

5) Paperback Book Welcome to Kindergarten by Walker Books for Young Readers. Welcome to Kindergarten is a wonderful book for those with children about to enter this new world of school. Anne F. Rockwell takes you on this journey through the orientation day of kindergarten. As most children, Tim is afraid to enter this big school with these big children. After entering the classroom, this book takes you through each learning center in a typical kindergarten classroom. Each page shows Tim playing and learning in each center as he becomes more comfortable with the environment. A great tool as well as a fun book to read.¤

Join Tim as he visits his future kindergarten classroom and learns what he will be doing during his first year of school. Explore the reading, math, and art centers. Sit at the desk where he will practice writing, counting, and telling time. The classroom may look a little too big at first, but after finding out about all the fun ahead, it doesn´t seem too big at all. In fact, it´s just the right size.
