Propitious, provocative and perceptive

What a delightful book for both children and adults who have contact with children! How convenient to have things to read to small children and things older children can read themselves.

Help your preschooler be SMART

We shouldn't have to trick kids into learning, and this lively collection of activities and stories will delight kids and adults alike while teaching alphabet, counting, colors, shapes, and a glimpse into preschool life. I'd keep it in the back seat of the car for the kids to read and look at on the way to preschool!

Going to preschool

I bought this book to help my son transition from being at home to pre-school. We read about the different things at school, playing, being dropped off by his parents and making new friends. I substitute the names in the book for his name so that he will feel comfortable going to preschool. He still cried during his first week of school, but each day I would take the book out and go over things with him, like what's in the classroom, daddy dropping him off, etc. It's his 3rd week of school and no more crying. He's doing great!
