This rhyming, brightly illustrated book is the perfect way to practice the alphabet and to introduce young children to kindergarten.

It's the first day of kindergarten and Miss Bindergarten is hard at work getting the classroom ready for her twenty-six new students. Meanwhile, Adam Krupp wakes up, Brenda Heath brushes her teeth, and Christopher Beaker finds his sneaker.

Miss Bindergarten puts the finishing touches on the room just in time, and the students arrive. Now the fun can begin!

Miss Bindergarten vigorously prepares for the first day of school as her 26 prospective students (one for each letter of the alphabet) do the same. "Any child made anxious by the first day of kindergarten should find great comfort in this book's two parallel stories," said PW. Ages 3-6.
