"On the first day of kindergarten, my teacher gave to me...the whole alphabet from A to Z!" Drawing on the rhythm and rich repetition of the familiar carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," The Twelve Days of Kindergarten is a welcoming introduction to school. Upbeat text celebrates the new adventure of school, and hilariously detailed illustrations showcase kindergarteners that every child, teacher, and parent will recognize with glee. Youngsters will enjoy singing along as the teacher's gifts accumulate, building to the twelfth day-the day the new students settle in and discover they love school!
As an added bonus, The Twelve Days of Kindergarten teaches both cardinal (one, two, three) and ordinal (first, second, third) numbers.
A Joyful Introduction to Kindgergarten This book is a fantastic example of how text and illustrations can combine to create a picture book that begs to be read again and again. Each time we read it, we followed a different character through the book.
The Twelve Days of Kindergarten-A Counting Boook This is a good book for kids and parents starting off the year. Its a light hearted look--good for the nerves. It has entertaining illustrations.
I wish I bought this book earlier This one of the best books I've read for kindergarten. It can be used on so many different levels. I have my daughter follow each student in the book (she loves the kid picking his nose too)and we talk about what they are doing and sometimes we play I spy.
The illustrations are excellent. It's fun to see what the kids are doing each day down to some of the smallest details.
We also sing the story which my 3 year old loves and tries to sing by herself.
This is a book you have to purchase. Your family will love it!
I Want this Teacher! This book is wonderful on many different levels.
The fact that my children and I can sing it - wow, for a musical family, what could be better than that?
Now music AND repetition? What could delight a pre-schooler/kindergartner more? VERY LITTLE!
The illustrations are colorful and SOOOO expressive. I think some of the children from my kindergarten class 35 years ago are caught forever in these pages, as are the children from MY children's classes....
I just wish my kindergarten teacher, Miss Wick, was more like the teacher Deborah Lee Rose creatd for us.
Brava - beautifully crafted.....
Great Gift for your Kindergartener's teacher!! My son, Luke, who is in Kindergarten this year loves this book! He laughed so hard at the boy who picks his nose all the way through the book, no matter what he is doing. The teacher is lovable and makes you want to hug your own child's teacher after reading this. Singing the tune makes it even more fun and has your child singing with you by the end! If your child is getting ready for Kindergarten, this book has some fun ideas of how it may be on any given day.
