HENRY’S 100 DAYS
OF KINDERGARTEN

HENRY’S SHOW-AND-TELL
Henry really likes kindergarten — there’s
painting, singing, story time and lots
of new things to learn. but there’s one
thing Henry doesn’t like: show and tell!
“The story tackles public-speaking fears
in an ideal way for very young children,
offering up a realistic method of dealing
with a common anxiety and a bit of humor
to put it all into perspective..”

have any grandparents to bring. but he
has many other special grownups in his
life. “bold, cheerful colors, a menagerie
of human-like animals, and a warm message
make this a good read-aloud that
celebrates the diversity of families.”

LOOK OUT KINDERGARTEN,
HERE I COME!
It’s the first day of kindergarten, and
Henry is raring to go. When he arrives,
it looks scary and for a moment he’s not
sure he’s ready for kindergarten. What
Henry soon discovers, though, is that
he’s been ready all along, and that the
only thing he’ didn’t know was how
much fun kindergarten is going to be.
“The classroom is a cheery, welcoming
place, and the story will reassure
youngsters who are both eager for and
apprehensive about their first school
experience.” —School Library Journal
