I love, love, love this book. This is a great book to start the school year. It takes into consideration how most children feel when they have to leave home and go to school for the first time. My oldest starts Kindergarten this fall and we will definitely read this the night before school starts.
I could never talk about my favorite children's book and not mention
Love, You Forever. We used to have a Mother's Day tea party at the preschool where I worked, and I read this book every year. By the end of the story I was crying, the mom's were crying, and other teachers walking by were crying. This is definitely an all time favorite. I actually have several copies of this book. Before I had my first child I bought this book for my personal book collection to have for my child. The author of this book (Robert Munsch) has so many great reads, and a lot of them he writes from personal experiences.
I also love this book The Kissing Hand!! I always encourage my teachers to use this book during their home visit. Its a good icebreaker for the parent child and teacher, especially if it the first time the child is entering school.
ReplyDeleteThis was a book that I also had on my list to include. I usually read this at the beginning of the school the first week and I have heart stickers and give them out at the end of that day with a kiss in their little hands. ("sanzatized" hands as they lovingly say :)
