K-Gr 1—Readers follow a kindergarten class on graduation day in this sweet picture book. Mrs. Appleby tries to gather the distracted youngsters and asks, "Who can guess what is the best thing about kindergarten?" They shout out their responses: calendar time, the playhouse center, the block corner, and many other classroom staples, but cannot find the right answer. At the end of the ceremony, Mrs. Appleby reveals that her students are the best thing about kindergarten. The bright and detailed cartoon illustrations provide a nice addition to the minimal text. Children will enjoy picking out the many details, especially the things they recognize from their own classrooms. This is a wonderful book for teachers to read aloud at the end of the school year.—Brooke Rasche, La Crosse Public Library, WI
