Martin is not at all excited about starting Kindergarten. He will miss his mother. He will miss his Teddy. He really does not want this phase of his
life to begin. His little sister on the
other hand would be thrilled to start school.
“You’re still too young, “Mom said. “This year it’s Martin’s turn.” “He’s
so lucky!” Anna said. When Martin finds
out that his friends will be at school with him, that there is a playground
where he can play ball, and that all his parents expect is for him to do his
best, Martin’s attitude slowly changes and he is excited for this new
adventure!
School is Coming is the perfect picture book to help
calm beginning kindergarten fears of leaving Mom and/or Dad and going to
school. Martin’s little sister’s
excitement is a wonder to Martin because he would simply rather stay home. Listing all of the fun and exciting aspects
of school as well as calming Martin’s fears helps him get excited. The illustrations are detailed and fun! Children will love this picture book!
