First Grade, Here I Come!

I got this book for my grandson who will be starting first grade this fall and he has really liked it a lot.

Perfect book to use at the end of the year for Kindergarteners going to first grade!

I read this to my boys just before they started first grade this year, and they liked it. It was a little more involved than the "Miss Bindergarten" books, which makes it appropriate for older (6 and 7 year-olds as opposed to 4 and 5 year-olds) kids. It also helps start them talking about what's on their minds - are they nervous, excited, fearful? what do they expect?

I read this to my grandson, the first grader, and although he enjoyed it, I felt it better suited for a kindergartener going into first grade. It worked great as a discussion tool on how things are done in other schools. For instance, in his class, first graders do not receive a snack outside of lunch; they do not have a class pet; and he does not take the bus to school, but is chauffeured by his cousin--which is my personal preference. I still rate it 5 stars and suggest buying it before child enters first grade that way it becomes a keepsake because of the anticipation it builds in the youngster.
