Hope this is an ARC!
The story and ideas are simple, stated in an understandable way, and entertaining; however, several of the pages were out of order. The story started on the same page as the forward ended, making it a little confusing and I am an adult. Once these confusing issues are resolved. It should easily be worth another star.

Mr. Shipman’s Kindergarten Chronicles: DECEMBER CELEBRATIONS is a sweet little book that will grab a kid by the imagination right from the start and wouldn’t let the excitement go till the very end. As I was reading the book, all the memories of my life in kindergarten including the classrooms, corridors, playground and the affection of my favorite teachers came alive. The sweet hardcover of the book shows Mr. Shipman dressed as Santa and holding his kindergarten students as they are enjoying the December holidays to the fullest, from gifts and decorations to field trips and Christmas tree. The common theme that emerges is one of affection, Tradition, diversity and the value of celebrating different cultures together. The story is told through the eyes of an innocent child, describes the exciting memories of Christmas celebrations of a young child named Banicia and her Kindergarten classmates during Mr. Shipman’s kindergarten class.

this book warmed my heart ...we all need a bit of extra warmth this time of the year, it is so chilly outside. great illustrations. and live real photos. i am curious about: page 16 and page 2 there are no photos there? like they are meant to have photos, but nothing is showing for me personally? (i got this today 12/17/2020, i won a Goodreads giveaway, lucky me, i am truly blessed to check it out, love that!!) ...i wonder if that is a kindle issue or? i will tell u a bit about my connection to teachers ... my parents were both teachers, many of my relatives were teachers ...so teaching in my forms ...be it in school fashion, Sunday school, or just in daily life ... i know it ... i appreciate it and i know the time and energy it takes ...but it is such a rewarding job (way to walk in life, so awesome!) My Mom was a librarian for many years both in elementary school and middle school. my Dad was a technology teacher at one time it was called an industrial arts teacher, he was was in high school, then middle school. I recall when he first started teachers were allowed to smoke in the classes, nothing like what it is like this day an age ...point being ... if you allow life to move you forward, you learn and grow ... continue to grow .. no matter what ... grow from all moments ...both good and bad. u will change and keep moving forward. i enjoyed this read. well done.

Nice celebration story
My 5 years old kindergartener was a bit confused who is in the current story, and what happened long ago. The text was a bit long for her too to keep her attention.
I loved the teacher’s enthusiasm, his attention and dedications for every detail.
Our advance read kindle edition (a goodreads giveaway win) had paragraphs out of order, a sentence unfinished and the pictures were almost never on the same page as their paragraphs. We used Kindle for iPhone.

Smile worthy
What a lovely story. A delightful way to discuss the multicultural nature of the December holidays. Celebrating them all fills the time with such Joy and excitement.
Illustrations are colorful and joyous.
My favorite part of the story was at the end when we discover that Mr Shipman is a real, live teacher. I pray every child has at least one teacher like Mr Shipman.
Yeah, Team Shipman!
I experienced a slight disappointment with the formatting of the ebook. But the joy shines through.

This is an adorable story about a kindergarten teacher that celebrates all the December holidays in his class. Dewayne comes home from school with a note from Mr. Shipman. His older school tells Dewayne all about the December holidays in Mr. Shipman's class. He teaches his students all about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa in fun and educational ways. What a magical experience! I read the kindle version (goodreads giveaway) and it was very out of order making it hard to follow. If that gets fixed it will be much easier to read and follow.

How could any adult or young child not love this very short tale of celebrating the December holidays in a unique and special kindergarten class? I would only wish that every child would be so fortunate as to have such a warm and sensitive teacher as Mr. Shipman. I suspect that these lucky kids are the ones that retain their interest in learning in subsequent years. An inspirational story!

Mr. Shipman's Kindergarten Chronicles: December Celebrations by Terance Shipman is written for children older than kindergarten . It was a fun look at Christmas thru kindergarten age eyes. It was a fun read and kept my attention but the very young set got distracted . It reminds the reader that Christmas is fun which we lose as we are grow older. It is a fast read.

I won this as part of a giveaway and I’m really glad I did! It was such a sweet cute story with really great illustrations. I love that it’s written by a real teacher. My only complaints would be that on my fire kindle the text started with the acknowledgements and some of the first pages were out of order so I had to go back and fit it together in my head to read it, otherwise it was delightful!

I read Mr. Shipman's Kindergarten Chronicles which was based on Christmas and all the fun the children had. Filled with colourful and exciting illustrations at every single page made me go crazy for this series. Though it's a children book preferably for the age group 5+, but everyone is welcomed to enjoy this short read.
Banicia recalls her childhood Christmas memories. Mr. Shipman planned trip to the tree farm with the children. They cut their own trees, read books on holiday, listened to music, did the art works and had delicious food.
I was delighted to read this book. Mr. Shipman was depicted as a very thoughtful teacher who genuinely cared about his students. He had planned all the fun activities to make them engaged whole-heartedly. The language was yet another factor for an intriguing read. It could have been made a little simpler considering the readers' age group. But anyways, the story was exciting and the artworks were marvelous. I hope they love going through its pages. We can read them (kids) during bedtime or any activity. I don't mind reading the sequels of this series, and can never stop reading the children's books, ever. The magic and freshness they provide is something I always look for.

“Everyday we read Christmas holiday books. There was a special bookshelf for these books. Also, we did a lot of art projects! I loved all the art projects! We made holiday chains, Christmas cards, reindeer Santa Clauses and stockings using cotton balls. We even made a wreath out of our hand prints!”
For me, it was our Christmas tree and crib making competition. We had four houses (teams) - red, yellow, blue and green and we all made sure to give our best to beat each teams to win the competition.

Dr. Terance Shipman is a 23-year veteran teacher who is also the author of the beautiful "Mr. Shipman's Kindergarten Chronicles" book series for young kids. The series features and celebrates the male teacher and his Kindergarten class chronicles.
The December Holidays book is a narration and recollection of events that occurred during the December Holidays in Mr. Shipman's Kindergarten, narrated by a girl Banicia to her little brother who's just about to experience the same fun events in his class. Reading the book was delightful.
The book has rather a longer text than there should be in a children's book but it is suitable for kids above 6-7 years of age in my opinion. Perhaps those kids will have a nostalgic moment while reminiscing about their own Kindergarten class. I must say that the illustrations play a vital role in children's books and this book is adorned with absolutely lovely illustrations. I would like to appreciate the author's work and the story as the Christmas celebration has been depicted beautifully. This is a lovely Christmas-themed children's book that's also a perfect Christmas gift.

I really love to read children's books and author Terrance Shipman has impressed me a lot with his book. This book was magnificent. Terrance is also a teacher in real life and we can see in this book that author knows a lot about kids and schools. This book is a collection of events that happened during the December Holidays in Mr. Shipman's kindergarten. I really liked the fact that the kindergarten teacher in this book is black. This is one the best children's book I have ever read. Writing style of author is brilliant. Language used in the book was simple and good at the same time. Kids will definitely learn some new words. I am really excited to read another book by the author infact I wish to read every book written by Terrance Shipman. This book will be perfect for 6-7 year kids but we never know I really enjoy these kinds of books. You should definitely get this book for your kid. Lovely read.

What a nice book to read in the December month as the book is all about the celebrations of Christmas in Mr Shipman's Kindergarten. Dewayne comes back from school with a letter in his hand from his teacher about the December Celebrations and his mother and sister explains him about the magnificent experience of December Celebrations.
I really appreciate the hardwork done by Mr Shipman to make December Holidays rememberable for his Kindergartenrs. Author becomes a part of their group when he is planning to do something for them. He genuinely become their friend. Teachers who connect or atleast try to connect with the students are the most students remember these type of teachers for the rest of their lives.
Illustrations used in the book were remarkable. An entertaining story of the fun , educational, and multicultural celebrations.
