This book answers the questions parents have in sending their children to kindergarten and soothes their anxieties. Sean Walmsley and Bonnie Brown Walmsley are both educators, consultants, and parents who have anxiously watched two children board the big yellow school bus on the first day of kindergarten. They, with Anne Marie Camp, are co-authors of a theme-centered curriculum entitled Teaching Kindergarten .
