Editorial Reviews

"Tim, Come meet your kindergarten teacher on Thursday at 3 o'clock." In Anne Rockwell's Welcome to Kindergarten, Tim visits his new classroom before the start of school. After working in the science center, making "things out of wet and squishy clay, playing ball outside and having a cookie with a new friend," Tim discovers that his new classroom is not too big after all, but "just the right size for me."

PreS-K-A veteran author of books for the very young, Rockwell has produced a quiet, reassuring look at kindergarten routines. A little boy and his mother attend an open house, and he discovers all of the fascinating classroom centers and the activities that he will be doing in each one when September arrives. After finding a new friend and sharing cookies, he goes home contentedly with his mother, thinking that the school building doesn't look too big at all anymore, but seems "-just the right size for me!" The story is enhanced by simple, bright, and uncluttered illustrations that look like a young child's artwork-a perfect fit for the text. Although there are many titles about starting kindergarten, this one is just right to share one-on-one with an apprehensive four- or five-year-old.-Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
