AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
On Dmitri's first day of preschool, he is eager to make friends. At every turn, Dmitri is telling kids and teachers that he loves them, but nobody responds to him with the same line. He is disappointed and suggests to his mom that he not go back the next day. Dmitri's mom helps him understand that people express their love in different ways--a smile, a hug, an invitation--and he feels better.
This is a sweet story and absolutely ideal for a Pre-K audience. The pictures are colorful in a basic way and the story is a good one for life lessons.
