Starting School
This wonderfully warm and humorous book will put any pre-schooler's jitters to rest, by showing just what going to school is all about. Here is the block table, there is the dress-up corner. We meet the new teacher, and lots of children who will become new friends. There's time for stories, time to draw pictures, time to learn how to read, and lots more.

A group of kids start kindergarten. The book is nice in that it walks you through a day at school, the second day of school, a week, and special events. Good for calming nerves. Does have a semi-religious theme, such as a prayer before school, Christmas pagent about the baby Jesus, etc.
This book brought in multicultural and also religious points of view into the idea of starting school. It is a good book to help little ones with adjusting to school from the first day all the way up until Christmas break.
This is a great read for the first day of Pre-K. Reading this book with help calm your students nerves. They will be able to connect with the children in the book and feel more relaxed at school.
Genre: Picture Book/Non Fiction
I liked how the book was illusrated with all the different things that can happen at school. I think most young biys and girls will enjoy it too.

talks about children being nervous for school. would be a good book to read on the first day, so that children realize that they aren't the only ones nervous.
the children got ready for the first day in school. They did some painting and END UP IN A MESS!!!
I heard the authors went to an actual school and illustrated and wrote about what they saw for this book. It is definitely in depth!
It assumes the school is Christian~~the kids say their prayers and at the end "do a play about baby Jesus."

In the early 1960s, Allan studied teacher training in Sunderland, where he also met Janet, his future wife. He had tackled a wide variety of jobs, ranging from postman to plumber's mate before working as a primary teacher for ten years. Janet, however, discovering that she 'couldn't do the policing job', went on to study graphic design, which led her to her vocation as an illustrator.
