My 3-year-old just started preschool, and this book was a wonderful introduction. It is written from a child's perspective and uses clear, simple language to describe a typical day at preschool, including rules and activities. It made my child feel comfortable about preschool before her first day. The adorable, captivating muppet baby illustrations enable her to read the book to herself, which she does over and over!

This is a great & very simple introduction to what your child's day will be like at preschool. :) It refers to "Nanny" dropping him off at school, so I just changed the word to "Mommy" to make it more personal for my son.

Back in my day, we had what was called "Nursery School." Unfortunately, I was a drop-out. All I can remember is that we played Cowboys and Indians with the Kindergarten class, and they always got to be the cowboys. Naturally, at the end of the game the Indians all got shot. I also remember falling off the monkey bars and getting my mouth rinsed out with soap. Sheesh!

So what does this have to do with the delightful little book, "I Can Go to Preschool?" Just this: Had I been able to obtain a copy of this book, which does such a great job of dispelling fears about preschool, I might have been able to tough it out and stay in school. Kermit sure seems to like it. Any kid facing preschool would do well to prep with the frog before that first big day.

If nothing else, the happy times that Kermit has can help you to forget about your own, somewhat less happy, experiences.
