-There-s no need to be anxious or worried, palms sweaty./ It-s time for kindergarten, and you are READY!- In workmanlike rhyming couplets, Jorden lists preschool accomplishments for an audience preparing to move up. In Back-s bold, blocky art, classmates of varying abilities, skin tones, and fanciful hair colors exhibit all they-ve learned: -You know all the colors, like yellow and purple./ And you know all the shapes, from triangle to circle.- The board book pages encompass learning letters and numbers, dressing and shoe-tying, flushing and washing hands after using the potty, and social skills such as taking turns. The final spread, which points students toward a smiling anthropomorphized -kindergarten- building, feels a bit sudden, but the simple message, proudly emphasizing everything the preschool set has achieved, is likely to reassure--Next stop: kindergarten! You-re ready to go!- Ages 3-5. (June)
