This Is My Home, This Is My School

Bean's introduction to a free-spirited yet structured homeschool lifestyle offers a warm and accessible perspective on an increasingly common educational choice rarely seen in children's books. A first purchase.

Kindergarten Luck

Louise BORDEN | FICTION, Aug 01, 2015

A good option for one-on-one sharing, but overall, a supplemental purchase for libraries that simply can't meet the demand for back-to-school picture books.

Monkey: Not Ready for Kindergarten

Marc BROWN | FICTION, Aug 01, 2015

While not breaking any new ground, Brown's kid-centered perspective and accessible model for preparation make this title rise to the top of its class. A first purchase.

Frann PRESTON-GANNON | FICTION, May 01, 2015

David MILGRIM | FICTION, May 01, 2015

Milgrim's lighthearted illustrations and empathetic understanding of child behavior make this a first purchase and a good choice both for one-on-one discussions and for storytime.
