It’s almost time for school, so this week, we are highlighting books that talk about or take place at school. For instance, Getting Ready for Kindergarten is aptly named as readers follow a young girl in all the steps she takes leading up to the first day of Kindergarten. From shopping for new shoes with her mom to packing her backpack the night before, she feels ready. But the night before, she starts to worry about what her teacher and classmates will be like. Once she meets a friendly new classmate on the bus, she releases her fears and feels excited once again about the start of the year.
