Overview

What's a day in preschool like? Come inside and see!
Every preschooler will relate to this empowering text that is fun to both hear and say.
The entire book is written in rhyming couplets printed on cheerful backgrounds with lively colored pen-and-ink drawings. 
The page with "Hi! to teacher, coat on hook. Run to shelf and find a book." introduces a bright yellow room with several children already sitting on a rug looking at a book, one child hanging his coat on a hook, several parents at the door with their children in hand, and a cheerful young woman leaning down to greet the new arrivals. 
Another scene illustrates outside time with children running, playing, and sliding down a sliding board. "Bouncy balls and slippery slide. Time for snack, march back inside." There is time to rest and time to play with a pet hamster or study some goldfish. 
There are songs to sing and games to play. There is time for toys and time for clean up and, on the last page, "Coat from hook, Then get in line. Bye to friends. It's Mommy time!" 
This is a wonderful books for parents who want to prepare their toddler to school.
