What a wonderful book! This book is the ultimate must have of any pre-k to 1st teacher. It gives different transition examples for just about any type of activity. It is well categorized into different types of activities. It even gives extensions and different types of ways to do each transitions. I teach kindergarten and have found this book to work miracles when changing topics, to lining up for lunch, or simply getting the wiggles out. I highly recommend this book.

Although "practical" is an overused word it suits this book to a "T". The ideas help with classroom management and provide unique learning opportunities for the children. The book contains a nice mix of transition tips. There are suggestions for wild fun and also for quieting an overly exuberant bunch. The ideas can be implemented immediately and easily. That's a big plus for busy teachers. This is a great selection for new and experienced educators. I think Terrific Transitions lead to a terrific day!

I recommend this book to any early childhood educator! The activities are easy and can be adapted for various ages and abilities. This book has helped many of my teachers turn transition time into a fun part of the day!

Not too bad.

If you reach into your pocketbook and find out you need to save some money, then this book offers a inexpensive substitute for the slightly pricer trendsetters (TRANSITION MAGICIAN and TRANSITION MAGICIAN 2).

The two page introductiong educates the teacher on how to self-assess whether her classroom stands as "transition ready".
