5.0 out of 5 stars Helps Transition Kids from Home to School, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sam and Gram and the First Day of School: A Story to Answer a Child's Questions & Soothe Fears about School (Hardcover)

Really well done. My little one was pretty apprehensive about starting kindegarten this year, so I searched Amazon for something to help make the transition from home to school a little easier. This book addressed all of her major concerns: What is a teacher like? What will the other kids be like? What do they do in school? When do we eat? And who do we eat with?

The discussion for parents at the back of the book assists adults in identifying and addressing our kids' concerns.

Really helpful. Well written and beautifully illustrated. I'd recommend it to any parent with kids just starting school.
