PreS-K—Books to get kids ready for kindergarten are always welcome, and this title will help fill the need. With rhyming text that flows well, Marshall introduces readers to all aspects of the school day. "Go by bus, car, or walk…/On the way, there is talk/About new friends and school—/Teachers, pencils, books, rules." Throughout the day, all the kids look happy. The brightly colored illustrations clearly represent the text while still feeling childlike and fun. The standard topics are covered: playtime, storytime, recess, and lunch, as well as a few pages devoted to making new friends.
VERDICT A very good choice for those starting kindergarten, but it doesn't extend beyond that audience.
