Book Reviews of Countdown to Kindergarten
Book Review: A Kindergarten Must-Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Both of my girls loved, loved, loved this book. It's very similar to another book worked on by Harry Bliss entitled, "A Fine, Fine School". In both books, the illustrations tell a whole side story, complete with little side jokes that every adult will enjoy. After several readings, my kids started picking up on all the little jokes in the pictures, too. Basically, a young girl is worried about her first day of kinder, particularly the fact that she hasn't mastered the art of shoelaces. Her worry about being known as "Velcro Girl" is quite hysterical. In the end, all her fears and anxieties vanish as she discovers that there are plenty of kids who can't tie their shoes. It's a great teaching tool to reinforce the idea that we tend to worry about things that do not need our worrying, which is a great lesson to teach right as they enter the world of social worry---SCHOOL. Her tragically hip cat is a blast as well.

Summary of Countdown to Kindergarten
It's just ten days before kindergarten, and this little girl has heard all there is to know--from a first grader--about what it's going to be like. You can't bring your cat, you can't bring a stuffed animal, and the number one rule? You can't ask anyone for help. Ever. So what do you do when your shoes come untied--and you're the only one in the class who doesn't know how to tie them up again?
