Emily is so excited to go to Kindergarten. Her teacher helps the children to count off the first 100 days of school, and every day has a number.

Each page has from 1 - 4 days of school illustrated on it. Each numbered day is significant, either on a historical, cultural or kindergarten level.

Future and current kindergartners and their parents will be charmed by this book.

My only reservation about it is that it is 58 pages long. This is not a book that you could read in one sitting with your average 5 or 6 year-old. My recommendation would be to do it in small chunks - once a week or once a month - throughout the beginning of the school year.

It has wonderful ideas of how to celebrate and enjoy the school year in small ways, including the traditions of many cultures. Not only is it a great way to count, but also a way to explore cultural diversity.

Any fan of Rosemary Wells will be well satisfied with this book.

If you are looking for a book that you can read in one sitting with your child, try Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day by Joseph Slate. This book is actually an alphabet book in which each student's name starts with a different letter, and there is a sentence telling what each is bringing to celebrate the 100th day.

In this very charming book, Emily starts school and her teacher, Miss Cribbage, has them write a number down in their number books for each of the first 100 days of school. The pages are bright and colorful and the numbers are easy for small children to read. Each number has a lesson to be learned from it. Ms. Wells' characters are as always cute and adoreable. My twin four year girls absolutely loved this book. It is an excellent book for teaching numbers from 1 to 100. I would recommend it to anyone.

This book is really special! Emily counts off the first 100 days of school by talking about each and every number and matching it up with something to do with that day--her sister Eloise learning to play Seventy Six Trombones, her class learning about the nine planets, the prizewinning pumpkin at the fair weighing 33 pounds, and so on! The book is oversized, and filled with great Wells pictures. In the short piece of info given with each number, we get to know Emily's family and the joys and sorrows of her first year of school. We've read this book over and over. It's great for a child just starting to get excited about numbers, as they can look up their favorite ones to see what that number has associated with it. It would also be a great book for a child starting school. If you love Rosemary Wells, as I do, you knew you would like this book, but even I was impressed with how special it is!

Darling book. It can also can be purchased as part of a set called "Emily & Friends Playtime Learning Box". The box includes the softcover book, 100 adorable & creative activity cards, a growth chart, ruler, playing cards, & 100 stickers to put on a poster to mark a child's first 100 days of school. All at a good price - check it out!!!

This is a great book for teachers and students especially in the Kindergarten and first grades as they can count together along with Emily the first 100 days of school. They enter a small part of Emily's world . . . her first 100 days of that school year. Most Kinder and first graders mark each day that they are in school and have a big 100th day party to celebrate. What I like about this book is that a teacher can integrate math and literacy as they count along with Emily. Emily shares each of her 100 days with us in an interesting and unique manner. My students learned about music, geography, family, and a host of other topics one day at a time.

I got the book just in time to start my early school year (We began August 1st) and my kindergarten class can relate to the things that Emily does. They are even getting impatient to see what happens on the 100th day of school!

This is a great book but do not order from Breaktime Books. I received my book in an unacceptable condition.

I love this book because it is entertaining for kids and at the same teaches them their numbers 1-100 and encourages excitement to go to school. It also gave us ideas for projects and crafts to do! We made our own number journal! I also do reviews on my blog- [...]

This is a longer-than-normal children s picture book. It cannot be read in one sitting. It does have many different interpretations of numbers from 1 - 100. I always enjoy Rosemary Wells' artwork.

Emily's First 100 Days of School is currently out of print. Rosemary Wells is such a great author and illustrator of children's books. My son has been checking this book out of our local library for the last three years that I decided it was time he owned this book! He is a gifted math and reading student! He has always loved it because of the unique ways Rosemary Wells weaves real life numbers into the 100th day of school!
