Buy it: Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten

Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten (By Joseph Slate) – It’s the first day of kindergarten and everyone is getting ready. While the teacher, Miss Bindergarten, sets up the classroom, the students are waking up, getting dressed, eating breakfast and packing their school bags. In this fun, rhyming book for students starting kindergarten, the students are all animals that start with each letter of the alphabet. The story shows young children what they can expect when they get ready for school and during the school day. My kindergartner loves it.

The book recommendations included on this website are books that my daughter Ally, now age 5, and I have read and enjoyed together. I recommend the books that stand out to me as excellent children’s books for writing, illustrations, originality, story and characters. Ally and I hope you enjoy them too!

Buy it: A Child’s Day: An Alphabet of Play

A Child’s Day: An Alphabet of Play (By Ida Pearle) – This book is a beautiful alphabet book, with wonderful illustrations that show the many ways children play every day – from A to Z. My five-year-old daughter loves this book because of the simple and colorful illustrations of children at play. And “A Child’s Day” is a great way to introduce young children to the alphabet, letter sounds and words they know that begin with each letter. D is for dance. J is for jump. W is for whistle. The illustrations in this book are lovely. I think they would look great framed on a child’s bedroom wall. This is one of those books that makes a great gift and will be treasured for a long time.
