Here's a sampling of some great books you can use in September to start your school year off with a bang! Enjoy!
This School Year Will Be the Best by Kay Winters
On the 1st day of schools the kids are asked what they would like to happen in the upcoming year - picture day and skateboarding in the halls are two of the suggestions. But as the 1st day ends, something happens and everyone knows it's going to be a great year!
Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
Chrysanthemum hates her long, 13 letter name. I bet she'd be surprised to know that over 250 words can be made using the letters in her name.
Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni
An "oldie but goodie"
Little Blue and Little Yellow are friends who get separated. When they finally find each other again, they hug and hug until they become . . . Green!
The Night Before Kindergarten by Natasha Wing
Takeoff on the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore. You can just imagine all the hustle and bustle of this night - picture taking, backpacks packed. Then they get to school and discover just how much fun Kindergarten is.
Kindergarten Rocks by Katie Davis
Dexter already knows everything there is to know about Kindergarten because his big sister told him all about it. So Dexter isn't scared. Not even a little bit. But . . . his stuffed dog, Rufus, is scared. he's terrified. But Dexter, er . . . Rufus has nothing to fear. he soon finds out - Kindergarten Rocks!
I Am Too Absolutely Small for School by Lauren Child
This book is a lot like Kindergarten Rocks in that it can be read on the first day of school to relieve a little anxiety and help some of those "not so sure" students work through the day.
