More About the Author
James Howe has written more than eighty books in the thirty-plus years he's been writing for young readers. It sometimes confuses people that the author of the humorous Bunnicula series also wrote the dark young adult novel, The Watcher, or such beginning reader series as Pinky and Rex and the E.B. White Read Aloud Award-winning Houndsley and Catina and its sequels. But from the beginning of his career (which came about somewhat by accident after asking himself what kind of vampire a rabbit might make), he has been most interested in letting his imagination take him in whatever direction it cared to. So far, his imagination has led him to picture books, such as I Wish I Were a Butterfly and Brontorina (about a dinosaur who dreams of being a ballerina), mysteries, poetry (in the upcoming Addie on the Inside), and fiction that deals with issues that matter deeply to him. He is especially proud of The Misfits, which inspired national No Name-Calling Week (www.nonamecallingweek.org) and its sequel Totally Joe. He does not know where his imagination will take him in the next thirty-plus years, but he is looking forward to finding out.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good way to prepare pre-K kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: When You Go to Kindergarten (Hardcover)
We got this book from the library, read it every night, renewed it once and finally bought it. It has helped our son start getting ready for kindergarten because it describes what he'll be doing there.
There are lots of photos and text descriptions of things from using the bathroom (whenever you need to) to fire drills and making new friends.
We told the principal at his school about it, and he bought a copy, too.

Very nice book,

This review is from: When You Go to Kindergarten (Paperback)
My son (5) really responds to books with real children in them. This was a nice read together before he went to school last week. He kept identifying children in the story as "friends" from his preschool. He is still requesting this one at night.
