A heart-warming picture book, The King of Kindergarten (or King of the Classroom in the UK version), celebrates the excitement that one boy feels on his very first day of kindergarten.
From the moment he bursts out from beneath his wonderfully coloured quilt, and runs down for breakfast with his mother and father (pancakses anyone?), our narrator is confidently assured by his mother that he is the King of Kindergarten. She tells him this, not so he will feel that he is better than anyone, but to empower him to think and act postively on his first day in this strange new environment.
This is not so much a book about a child overcoming doubt or fears as they face school, but of a young child who is eager to learn, help others, interact and play.
Highly recommended.
