Rating: - Great book for preschool transition!
This book was a great help to my daughter when we were getting her ready for preschool the first time. She was almost 3 years old and had never been away from her mom or dad before. She is also rather shy. She loved the book and kept it with her all the time. We read it at night and any other time during the day she wanted to hear it. I have recommended this book to many people to help the transition. The transition to preschool went really well since she knew what to expect and she asks to go to school all the time.

Rating: - Awesome for parents!
I just bought this book for my 2.5-year-old daughter who is going to start preschool in a few weeks. I was amazed at how it held her attention and how the illustrations caught her eye. She asked many questions. Perhaps more importantly, though, the book answered many of MY questions as a parent. Preschool wasn't very popular when I was younger, and so this is an experience that I never had. The book addresses many of the details of preschool and incited excitement and curiosity for both the grown-up and the toddler reader ...

Rating: - Great at preparing for preschool
We got this for my two year old who will be starting preschool in about a month. He loved this book and is so excited about going to preschool. He has to pack his backpack and a pretend lunch every morning then he carries his backpack around all day! It answers all the questions kids might have about preschool and it doesn't talk about being scared of going to school which most books do and we don't want him to expect to be scared so this book is perfect!

Rating: - great for my son at 3yrs
My son, who has Autism, likes this book! It helped with preparing him for preschool. (which he started one day after turning 3) It is written like a social story. I did have to adjust the text a little while reading it..his class is all boys and they don't play outside. He really likes the page "What is a teacher" and "will Mommy and Daddy stay with me". It brought up things I did not think to tell him..like he would have a cubby of his own. He still likes to read this book after being in preschool for a couple weeks.
