NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Putting an uplifting spin on a classic poem, this charmingly illustrated and lyrical picture book about starting kindergarten will help kids—and their parents!—prepare for the big day.

“T’was the night before kindergarten,
And as they prepared,
Kids were excited,
And a little bit scared.”

Join the children as they prepare for school, packing supplies, posing for pictures, and—the hardest part of all—saying goodbye to Mom and Dad. But maybe it won’t be so hard once they discover just how much fun kindergarten really is!
