“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”
— George Bernard Shaw
The King of Kindergarten
This book is fun, fun, fun! The non-rhyming, but still rhythmic text is a blast to read aloud, and the illustrations are crazy clever and full of joy!
The story is narrated as if from a parent to a child on his first day of kindergarten. It describes the how the child’s day will progress, from waking and brushing his “Royal Chiclets” to sharing pudding with a new friend, to riding the “big yellow carriage” home at the end of the day.
