My son, Luke, who is in Kindergarten this year loves this book! He laughed so hard at the boy who picks his nose all the way through the book, no matter what he is doing. The teacher is lovable and makes you want to hug your own child's teacher after reading this. Singing the tune makes it even more fun and has your child singing with you by the end! If your child is getting ready for Kindergarten, this book has some fun ideas of how it may be on any given day.

This book is wonderful on many different levels.

The fact that my children and I can sing it - wow, for a musical family, what could be better than that?

Now music AND repetition? What could delight a pre-schooler/kindergartner more? VERY LITTLE!

The illustrations are colorful and SOOOO expressive. I think some of the children from my kindergarten class 35 years ago are caught forever in these pages, as are the children from MY children's classes....

I just wish my kindergarten teacher, Miss Wick, was more like the teacher Deborah Lee Rose creatd for us.

Brava - beautifully crafted.....

Remember the class cut-up who always made a mess? The weird kid who picked his nose? The girl who wore frilly dresses each day? This multicultural kindergarten class has that and more. You can't help but hum, or even sing, the melody of the popular Christmas carol as you read this book aloud. There are numerous counting books on the market, but the comical illustrations rendered by Carey Armstrong-Ellis elevate this to a class by itself. My daughters (ages 3 years 9 months and 2 years) enjoy a picture book all the more when the pictures provide plenty to look at while Mama reads. Be sure to watch class pets Chuck and Joe Gerbil and the fish as the story progresses! Poor teacher cracks by Day 12. We were cracking up by the end of the book.

I purchased this book to give my child a fun idea of what kindergarten would be like. She loves this book. It has many nice features to it...counting being the main focus.

I love this book. The pictures are so detailed. My students loved looking at the pictures and finding all the little details in each one. Even though the story and words are simple the pictures are facinating and great for young readers and older ones alike.

This is the cutest book for parents as well as toddlers and children. I bought it for my 5 year old granddaughter who is going to kindergarten in the fall, but my 2 year old grandson loves it even more than she does. The pictures have so much detail that even on the 20th reading, the children (and adults) are finding funny new sections of the drawing. The rhyme can be sung to "The 12 Days of Christmas," making it easy to memorize. Obviously, I love it.

This book was on my granddaughters Christmas list. She is in college and is doing student teaching now. She wanted it for classroom use. I was pleased to find it on line and she was very happy to receive it.

This book is a fantastic example of how text and illustrations can combine to create a picture book that begs to be read again and again. Each time we read it, we followed a different character through the book.

This is a good book for kids and parents starting off the year. Its a light hearted look--good for the nerves. It has entertaining illustrations.

This one of the best books I've read for kindergarten. It can be used on so many different levels. I have my daughter follow each student in the book (she loves the kid picking his nose too)and we talk about what they are doing and sometimes we play I spy.

The illustrations are excellent. It's fun to see what the kids are doing each day down to some of the smallest details.

We also sing the story which my 3 year old loves and tries to sing by herself.

This is a book you have to purchase. Your family will love it!
