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?

Not only did my 5-year-old daughter and I love this funny story of all the anxieties that kids feel before the first day of school, we laughed out loud at the fantastic illustrations. The pictures of the girl and her cat were so clever and humorous!

Then, her school had "Kindergarden Camp" and I donated the books to their little library. The teachers were thrilled. Great book!
