This book tells the real perspective of students, teachers, and parents about kindergarten with great stores, tips, recipes, jokes, and practice advice. If you are trying to understand the experience of your child in kindergarten, the book would be so very helpful. If you are trying to understand how to really volunteer at school and what is valued in volunteers, this book is a perfect read. If you are retired and would like to read a book that takes you down memory lane, this is a fun and thought provoking read. If you are a teacher who needs some new ideas and recipes, this book is for you, too! This writing style is easy to follow, the jokes are wonderful, and the teacher tips are told from the perspective of a teacher who admits to making a few mistakes. This is the real story of kindergarten for parents and teachers, told from a Christian point of view.

Susan is a beautiful person, with her loving, kind, and caring ways. Susan Case’s writing is touching and inspirational, speaking from her own life's experiences. If anyone is considering becoming a Kindergarten Teacher or has been teaching kindergarten, this is a must-read. I love the book!
Ten chapters moves along at a brisk pace, with exciting tips and tales, hilarious jokes and meaningful quotes woven through many, deep and precious stories from the author's relationship with children and their parents.
If you are a teacher or crafty grandma and parent who loves holidays like me, you'll want to write down recipes and make a list of some valuable links and teacher resources. The book is an excellent addition for your school, church and home library.
I especially loved reading a tender moment about Hugs from Seaver, a book donation project, with tissue in hand. Enough can't be said for teachers who put in long hours serving and are passionate about their profession of teaching, sacrificing and investing in children's lives. You will be rewarded!
An excellent book and I plan to re-read often. Susan has a gift of seeing through a child's perspective and preparing them for their tomorrow. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us, so we may become better teachers.

As a mom of three kids, one of whom just started Kindergarten, I enjoyed reading this book very much and highly recommend it. Susan Case, a retired Kindergarten teacher herself, uses the perfect blend of anecdotes, educational tips, and real life stories to show what life is like inside the Kindergarten classroom. There are great suggestions for both teachers and parents, as well as wonderful recipes to enjoy with your family. I found the section on special education particularly inspirational. You can instantly feel the love Ms. Case had for teaching and for her students. Truly a heartwarming book and a wonderful resource.
