Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Dexter Dugan is about to start kindergarten, and his stuffed dog, Rufus, "is an eensy teensy beensy bit scared" about it. Thankfully, Dex's third-grader sister, Jessie, sees that her brother is really the scared one and sets about cheerfully reassuring her sibling: "Don't worry, kindergarten rocks," says a cartoon bubble extending from Jessie. Dex's first-person narration maintains his false bravado. "I got Jessie to help me make a list of things Rufus was scared about. I'm not worried, though," reads the text, as Jessie busily writes at a desk, a flurry of papers swirling around her ("What if my teacher is mean?" reads one page, "What if I have to go #2?" reads another). The interplay of Dex's narrative, which addresses readers directly, and his cartoon-bubble exchanges with his sister respectfully and humorously covers a new student's cornucopia of concerns. Davis's (Who Hoots?) colorfully crayoned illustrations maintain an upbeat tone, even when Dex loses Rufus in class. The buoyant vignettes of Dex enjoying himself at school will reassure even the most fearful of the pre-kindergarten set. Ages 4-6. (July) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
From The Critics
Dexter projects his worries about kindergarten onto his stuffed dog, Rufus, in Kindergarten Rocks! by author/illustrator Katie Davis. Though his big sister, Jessie, acquaints him with the fun in store, Dexter lists all Rufus's fears: getting lost, getting in trouble, having to deal with mean people (the usual five-year-old jitters). "If Rufus gets scared, just give him a hug," says Jessie. Dexter and Rufus have a great first day at school. They build a tower, make art and look at books. But when Rufus goes missing, Dexter discovers his own abilities to lead the search and problem solve. The final pages reveal the boy eager to return and even questioning Jessie about first grade. The humor and expressive round-faced characters will reassure rising kindergartners. 2005, Harcourt, Ages 4 to 6.

    A Gift for Jake!

    We bought this book for our Grandson, as he will be starting Kindergarten this fall. He and his Mother love reading it together. A lovely book for children to read with their parents or grandparents.

    Gift For Incoming Kindergartners

    I am a principal of a small elementary school and gave each incoming kindergartner this book at the Kindergarten Orientation in June. I received many thank yous from parents and new students regarding Kindergarten Rocks. It is a great book to quell any fears about starting school in September and they can reread the book all summer!!!
    Thank you.

    This book rocks!

    I read this book to my future kindergartners at orientation. It gave us the opportunity to discuss the fears of the main character (and possibly theirs). By the end of the story everyone is a lot less nervous about starting school. They left cheering, 'Kindergarten rocks!'
