My Review:
The first day of school is almost upon us and most children aren't really looking forward to it. I bet it is safe to say most of the older children don't. But those small babies look so forward to this day. The get a new hair cut and new clothes. They get to go to this fun new place and meet so many new people. Their world is growing by leaps and bounds just like they are. My kiddos are at the age where they would love to do anything else that you ask, except for school.
But, Sam he is different. He is overjoyed at the prospect of starting school and all the new fun things he will do while he is there. My First Day of School documents Sam's whole first day start to finish. He and his classmates are eager to learn and love their teacher.
Michelle Medlock Adams, has written a delightful book perfect for preschool to kindergarten aged children to read and enjoy. She initiates all of the firsts for school age children. Especially all the new things they get to partake in such as hair cuts, clothing and school supplies. Sam is a fun character full of inquisitiveness and is eager to learn. A great read aloud for my son!

I feel this picture book is great for young children, starting pre-k. It has an upbeat rhyming theme, and the perfect amount of bounce to kick their spirits up and helps them to stay excited about starting school. The positivity the writer brings is contagious, giving children the courage not to be scared or nervous about their first day. Illustrations dictate a similar classroom they may see in school themselves. I gave this book a 4 star only because I do not think it would be a good read for a child over 4 years of age. I could easily see myself reading this book to my class of pre-schoolers on their first day.
