I am a Kindergarten Teacher and my students loved reading this book. It is a great way to introduce the school year. Parents this is also a great book to read to your little one as they begin school-it discuss first day of school jitters and excitement. Nancy Carlson does a wonderful job!

I found this book to be trite and predictable. It could help children and parents to prepare for Kindergarten, but so could many other books that are better, such as the Miss Bindergarten books or The Night Before Kindergarten. I understand that young children need simple, colorful books, but the illustrations in Look Out Kindergarten just did not do it for me. I myself have little visual art ability, but feel I could have illustrated this book better. Being a librarian, I know that preschool age children need great illustrations to enhance their listening; this book was a large disappointment.

I bought this book for my almost five year old granddaughter who is about to enter kindergarten and found it to be below her comprehension and appreciation standards. Her younger sister who is 2 seemed to enjoy it.

My daughter is very excited about going to kindergarten this fall but she is also nervous about a few things. So I purchased this book and we read it every night along with a few others. It is a wonderful book because it talks about all the things they will do there and how it's ok to be nervous. It talks about making new friends, having a new teacher and kindergarten round up. This has helped us get ready for the transition from preschool to kindergarten. I highly recommend it!

Bought this for my 5 yr old about to start Kindergarten in a new "big" school, and for my 3 yr old who will be going to preschool for the first time. The book resonated well with both of them, especially the younger one.

This is another great book for emerging kinders. The pictures are very colorful, and the story line fits with what many new kindergarteners are feeling. Classic book, my kinder loved reading it together before the first day of school.

I ENJOYED THIS LITTLE BOOK THOROUGHLY. IT ARRIVED JUST IN TIME FOR MY GRANDAUGHTER'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. SHE PAID A LOT OF ATTENTION WHEN I READ IT TO HER. SHE ALSO ASKED QUESTIONS AND SHOWED INTEREST.
