Especially recommended

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.
