Wow! This book has so many concepts for children to learn. This is such a great book to read to children who are about to go to kindergarten. I love how this book has so much clever rhyming in it. Each of the animals last names rhymes with something that they are doing. This book is also great for letter recognition. Each of the students (animals) names in the book are in alphabetical order throughout the book. Each letter is a diffrent color. This is also great for alliteration. Each of the stu...more

This is the second Miss Bindergarten book I've read, and it's the perfect book to read to a child who is getting ready to go to kindergarten or preschool. It shows Miss Bindergarten (an English setter dog) waking up on the first day of kindergarten. Then it shows her students getting ready. There are a range of emotions with the children - excitement, apprehension, joy. Each of the children is an animal and they are introduced alphabetically - from "Adam Krupp wakes up" to "Zach Blair finds his...more
This book is so cute for students going into Kindergarten! Its full of things that they might not expect to happen in school. I also love that the author, Joseph Slate, uses all of the letters of the alphabet as well as rhyming words! Kids will find this fun to read when they are just beginner readers because of the easy and whimsical rhyming words. Also, the fact that all of the characters are animals makes the story fun and different. It also includes "children" with disabilites and handicappe...more
This is one of the cutest children's books in the world! I absolutely love how the author incorporated the alphabet into the book. The twenty-six children all represent one letter of the alphabet. The way the words flow through the book, intertwining with the pictures, make it really fun to read. Also the rhyming is really easy and fun for children to listen to. I want to become a kindergarten teacher and this is a book I would love to read to my students, one the first day of school, every year...more
This book is so fun to read at the beginning of the year! I can totally relate with all of the hard work and preparation Miss Bindergarten does to prepare for the beginning of the school year. Its a good segway to discuss our classroom and how we can treat the materials in our room that we will all share. They also really like looking at the class composite pictures in the back listing the names of the animals that are students and how Lenny is a Lion and both start with the /l/ sound.
This is a great book to prepare your little one for the first day of school. The use of animals in place of children makes it fun for them and makes the experience "not so real". The animals act like children and do everyday things like brushing their teeth, tieing their shoes, and putting on their clothes. Each animals name is paired to rhyme with a word describing the event thats taking place. It's colorful, creative and the pictures are very descriptive.

Getting a child ready for Kindergarten? This is the perfect book! It is a silly fun and cute book about a teacher who is getting ready for her kindergarten class/year. It is a story that involves the letters of the alphabet, different animals and rhyming words. Kids love this, and it is an exciting book to read. Plus, the illustrations are adorable and colorful which gets kids interested.

I believe that this is a great book for new students or for the first day of school. It is an introduction into the life of a teacher and allows students to relate to the characters as far as being nervous for the first day of school. This is also a good book for teaching rhyming words. I think that the story is most age appropriate for those students in grade K.

What a great book to read to children before they embark on their adventure to the first day of kindergarten. What a great book to read with your students on the first day of Kindergarten, there is great connection between the teacher getting ready as well as the students. This book offers many rhyming words, as well as alphabetization.

I love the names of all the animals. I've used this at the end of the year in pre-k and have seen it used in the beginning of the year in Kindergarten. I have observed several kindergarten teachers use this story as a reflection about how each student got ready for their first day of school. The glossary in the back has pictues and the names of all 26 characters and could be used to make puppets to retell the story in their own words.
I read this book every on the first day of school and the kids love it. It is a great ABC book and as an activity we make our own classroom ABC name book. Through this activity we talk about why authors write and what an audience is. It then becomes part of our classroom library. The kids love it.
My one-year-old and four-year-old both loved this book and I had to read it several times to both of them. I wasn't expecting to love it from the title, but it grew on me: I liked the alphabetic progression and especially how the kids in the class were animals for each letter of the alphabet.
This is an adorable book that uses that ABC's and talks about what all the students do to get ready for kindergarten. Each student is a different animal. Good book to read on the first day of school, and ask the students how they got ready for kindergarten and have them draw picture.
While her class gets ready for a new school day, Miss Bindergarten is busily getting ready for kindergarten. The story goes through the ABCs and assigns a name and animal for each letter. At the end of the book, there is a picture of he whole class and what species the students are.
Cute story for your child in the weeks before Kindergarten starts. Of course, my child decided she absolutely had to read it during first grade, but it's still a good story with diverse characters (each student is a different kind of animal) and even includes a student in a wheelchair.
Great for assessing students on their alphabets since Miss Bindergarten's students are each a letter in the alphabet. Miss Bindergarten gets ready for her class of kids for the first day of school. And her students prepare as well to meet her!
Good read for Pre-K and Kindergarten

Miss Bindergarten is putting the finishing touches on her classroom just in time for the first day of school to start!
We gave these books as gifts to all our kids moving onto kindergarten and fell in love with the well done illustrations and enjoyable story.

Great book for beginning readers; has the big text and colorful illustrations. It is about the first day of kindergarten so could be a read-aloud for first day kindergarten. It has rhyming throughout so great tool to help kindergartners/1st grade decode unknown words.
This whole series is wonderful. It's super cute and the kids can actually relate to the change from staying at home to going to school. This is also a good way to introduce every letter in the alphabet before you teach them. I must buy these if I teach kindergarten!!

This sis a fun book to use to use to help children be calm for their first day of school/kindergarten. It is humorous and fun.
Young children will have fun listening to this story. It can be used to teach children their ABCs and more!

My kindergartner and I really enjoyed reading this book as he got ready for school this year. Love the pictures. The kids love seeing what mischief the bird gets into, and comparing the things in Miss Bindergarten's room to their own classrooms.
The interesting illustrations, particularly the classroom scenes, bumped this one up to four stars. The text is so-so to me (a bit forced to keep the rhyming and alphabet structure), but I would consider reading to a group of kindergarteners.
I love Miss Bindergarten. It is a great ABC book to read to children and it helps them see all the things people do to get ready for school. They really enjoyed the repetition of "Miss Bindergarten gets ready for kindergarten."
I don't really feel like many of my students understood the ABC format of this book but they did enjoy the illustrations. We also were able to compare the pictures of Miss Bindergarten's classroom to our own and find many similarities.
Miss Bindergarten gets ready for Kindergarten is a cute book. I love the rhyming and all the students getting ready. One thing I do not like is that the names of students throughout the book do no match the names at the very end.
This book uses the letters of the alphabet to go through describing how a kindergarten teacher gets ready for the first day of school. Good book to read to Kindergarten students and to go over letters of the alphabet.
Sweet story with cute pictures. Encourages children to notice how each student's first name is in order of the alphabet, and their actions rhyme with their last names.
Good intro to kinder :)

Nice book to start the school year off. I like because its an alphabet book and each character had an activity that the students can relate to. It also gives the students an idea of what teachers go through to get ready for the school year.
