wonderful

my daughter borrowed this (several times I might add!) from her kindergarten teacher. I loved reading it to her each and every time. The storyline and illustrations convey the theme perfectly- a positive attitude means EVERYTHING. I must have for any child in my opinion!

A Crowd Pleaser

I am an elementary school teacher and this is the first book I read every year to my class. They LOVE it and will ask for it over and over again. It is great for alleviating first day jitters at school!

Spider School

I bought this book for my kindergarten class. They asked for it repeatedly. They must have talked about Kate's first day at school on the playground because other teachers started borrowing it. We presented Spider School as a short drama at graduation. When Kate's nightmare turned into a happy day at school everyone cheered. It was a real hit! Younger brothers and sisters knew the story so well they were saying some of the lines with the actors. This is a "must have" for children about to enter Gr. 1.

My kids loved this weird book!

This is really a very strange and kooky book, and my kids loved it. They ask me to read it again and again. It is a little spooky for 2 to 3 year olds.
