The Day My Mom Came to Kindergarten
By Fergus, Maureen
"I liked kindergarten from the very 1st day," begins the narrator of this very funny and touching picture book. However, she notices, "My mom was happy for me, of course, but I got the feeling that she was also a little sad" to leave her. So one day the little girl invites her mom to join the kindergarten class for the day, which turns out to be a real learning experience -- for both of them. Somehow her mom just can't get any of the rules right: she barges to the front of the line, she shouts out without raising her hand, she slams down her scissors during Craft Time. How embarrassing! In a wonderful role reversal that will delight young children, the girl must become the patient and sometimes frustrated expert who instructs her mom on how to behave.

Amanda Panda Quits Kindergarten
By Ransom, Candice F
Kindergarten has never been funnier with the launch of this new, strong-willed character, in the style of Ladybug Girl, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, and Bread and Jam for Frances.

Amanda Panda perfectly captures the spirit, motivations, and humor of a headstrong five-year-old girl - and will be sure to soothe back-to-school jitters."Empathy and kindness are just as important as ABCs and 123s, and Amanda gives readers a good lesson." - Kirkus"Filled with droll humor that begs to be read aloud, this is an excellent back-to-school purchase and a great fit for storytime." - School Library Journal"With strong dialogue and well-imagined details of wardrobe and play, Ransom writes an original story around the familiar situation: the beginning of school. . . . This wryly amusing picture book offers a fresh take on an old theme." - BOOKLIST "The lesson makes an impact without preaching, and kids are likely to want to revisit this one, especially as the first day of school approaches." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"Bright, fresh illustrations fill the pages of this adorable book about disappointment, friendship, and kindness." - ReadBrightly.com
