On The First Day Of Kindergarten by Tish Rabe

On The First Day Of Kindergarten

by Tish Rabe


Perfect for nervous/excited kids about to go to kindergarten (and their parents!). This engaging adaptation of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” convinces parents and children alike that there is no place cooler than a kindergarten classroom.

On the first day of kindergarten, there’s so much to do! From making new friends to jumping rope in gym to riding the bus to school, there are lots of exciting firsts to look forward to.

Even though saying good-bye to Mom and Dad is hard, when the school bus pulls up, it’s time to begin kindergarten fun.

Share at home along with such books as Clover Kitty Goes to Kittygarten and Kindergarten, Here I Come!

Tish Rabe is a seasoned children’s book author with over 160 titles, including ones for Sesame Street and Curious George, under her belt. Like Natasha Wing with The Night Before Christmas, Rabe puts a novel spin on a first-day-of-school classic with On the First Day of Kindergarten.

And don't miss the follow-up: On the First Day of First Grade!

I have a five-year-old kindergarten daughter this year and we adore educational books written by Tish Rabe so I was intrigued to see how we enjoyed "On the First Day of Kindergarten" illustrated by Laura Hughes. It was neat and a lot of fun to read with all my Littles. Even my toddler and third grade child enjoyed the repetition of it all. I think this would make a great addition to a school classroom especially for that first week or so.

Even as a homeschool family personally this is a fun read and speaks to the excitement and anticipation of things to come. Each page repeats and builds on the event from before. Reminds me of the hole in the bottom of the sea song my daddy sang with me as a child.
