Reviews

[Kalynda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good first reader book about either a new school or the first days of school for a kindergarten class. Easily used to support their own writing.

[Miss Pippi the Librarian · Rating 4 out of 5]

An older brother takes his younger sister on a tour of his school. The text is simple and straight forward with one sentence per page. This is a perfect book for a quick introduction to school. The final sentence of encouragement to the younger sibling is perfect for readers who are not in school yet.

Theme: Back to School
Additional Themes: siblings
