The first day of school can be hard for children and adults alike. This is an amazing book that deals with the excitement and hesitancies on this special day. It is a very fun book for parent and child.
The poem begins on the night before kindergarten with children and parents getting ready for the big day. Then the day arrives and we see children and parents as they prepare, go to, and arrive at school. Then we see how the parents are saddened by leaving their kids behind. The resourceful teacher manages to find a quick solution and all ends happily.

Natasha Wing was born in Milford, Connecticut on February 7, a week before Valentine's Day. She was a happy kid, oldest of three, who loved autumn, her dog, brand new pencils, and playing teacher. When she grew up, she worked at a newspaper, yet she had dreams of writing her own creative stories. Natasha started writing and writing and writing. She wrote children's books. She wrote magazine articles. She wrote poems. And magically, some of them got published. Now she's a best-selling author.

'Twas the night before kindergarten, and as they prepared, kids were excited, and a little bit scared.
It's the first day of school! Join the kids as they prepare for kindergarten, packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and the hardest part of all-saying goodbye to Mom and Dad. But maybe it won't be so hard once they discover just how much fun kindergarten really is! Colorful illustrations illuminate this uplifting takeoff on the classic Clement C. Moore Christmas poem.

I thought this was an excellent read for children about to enter Kindergarten... not every book has to be realistic, because, let's face it, Kindergarten can be scary to a 5 year old. I also purchased a number of other books for pre-K and read those, along with The Night before Kindergarten, to my 5 year old. He particularly enjoyed this book, because it's easy to understand, the rhyming makes it fun and it ends with the grown-ups crying, which he thinks is very silly. |

This is a terrific book. Our granddaughter, who just began kindergarten, loves the book and reads it every night before going to bed. |

We bought this book for our 5 year old son, who will soon be entering kindergarten, and he loves it! The story and pictures are very neat and innovative; a spin from it was the night before Christmas. We were not bothered by the crying parents because being able to express emotions is very important in life and I would rather explain to my son why those parents are crying than to pretend that it does not happen. It very healthy for children to learn that their and other's emotions and feelings are very important! The world needs more compassionate and caring people! This is a very hard and unfamiliar transition for everyone! Especially from being mommy and daddy's little boy or girl to wow you are now a big boy or girl and entering the school system. We appreciated the book and its values! Great book! I would definitely buy it again or recommend it to anyone entering kindergarten! |

I bought this book for my granddaughter and for a friend's child who is entering kindergarten. Loved the idea of making children aware that this is a big step for them but somewhat bitter-sweet for their parents. Mentioned leaving their baby things behind as they go into the big school world. Pictures were very up to date-clothes, backpacks, school supplies. Very well done. I would extend the age range for appropriate readership through kindergarten age and not limit it to preschool. |
