PreS–In this bright and colorful board book, an omniscient narrator follows different critters through preparing and attending their first day of preschool. The animals do projects, play outside, eat lunch, and play pretend, all while making brand-new friends. This book inclusively addresses the worries of most children in a fun and innocent way; for example, at one point the teacher writes on the board, “It’s OK to say ‘I don’t know.’ Everyone is here to grow.” The story ends with the students loving preschool and cheering about the fact that it will last all year long. Colorful, graphic art depicts happy and excited animal preschoolers and an exciting and welcoming preschool classroom environment. This is the perfect introductory read for those just beginning preschool.
VERDICT For public libraries or early childhood programs looking for works that eases nerves and makes school look like a place to learn and grow.
