After the first day of first grade, Henry's not sure how he feels about it. The teacher isn't like his kindergarten teacher, and the fifth-graders hog the monkey bars. But as Henry tells his mother about a new friend who likes soccer and about how he'll learn to read books, he begins to realize that maybe first grade won't be so bad after all.

I read this to my grandson, the first grader, and although he enjoyed it, I felt it better suited for a kindergartener going into first grade. It worked great as a discussion tool on how things are done in other schools. For instance, in his class, first graders do not receive a snack outside of lunch; they do not have a class pet; and he does not take the bus to school, but is chauffeured by his cousin--which is my personal preference.I still rate it 5 stars and suggest buying it before child enters first grade that way it becomes a keepsake because of the anticipation it builds in the youngster.

This book provide a basic concept and preparation of transition from kindergarten to 1st grade. It gives an idea to the readers that the differences between kindergarten and 1st grade activities at school. It's a great summer book for prospective 1st grader.

This is a fun book to use at the beginning of the school year for my incoming first graders. They enjoy it every time!

I bought this "first grade, here I come" book for my daughter. I gave it to her teacher on the last day of kindergaten to read to her whole class. It was a sweet short story to help the children feel more excited and less fearful of going to the first grade. The students loved it and all of the fun colorful illustrations.

This short book did an excellent job of anticipating "anxiety points" for first graders, presenting them, and getting the 1st grader thinking of them, in a positive "it will work out okay" way. My soon-to-be first grade grandson really liked it, was "into it". I think it helped him! Well played!

I read this to my boys just before they started first grade this year, and they liked it. It was a little more involved than the "Miss Bindergarten" books, which makes it appropriate for older (6 and 7 year-olds as opposed to 4 and 5 year-olds) kids. It also helps start them talking about what's on their minds - are they nervous, excited, fearful? what do they expect?

I thought would be a good book to read to my kindergarten class on the last week of school but it was really intended to first grade teachers. Oh well...I gave it to a first grade teacher.

Perfect book to use at the end of the year for Kindergarteners going to first grade!
