Editorial Reviews

I would recommend this book to anyone! It shows a variety of children, some with special needs, and goes through the day-by-day routines of the school day. We used this as a social story to discuss the parts of the school day.

This book is just what I needed. It focuses on starting preschool and I read it with my daughter before she started. She enjoyed that one of the children in the classroom is also hard of hearing. We love reading this and hope it is preparing her for when she goes to school
