"I want my mommy!" is this hesitant little girl's response to her first day at nursery school. But after she gets involved with glue-y projects, singing and dancing, painting, game playing and meeting new friends, she gradually changes her mind about nursery school. Children (and parents!) who are anxious about the transition to daycare or preschool will find this book both spirited and comforting. The clever front and back jacket illustrations hint at the happy ending and the interior art is playful and bursting with color.

Author: Guest My two-and-a-half year old just started preschool. I've looked at SO many books in this genre, and this one stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. What a lovely book!
Author: Guest I just read this to my 2.5-year-old daughter for the first time and I was a little nervous at how the girl in the story cries for her Mommy, as I thought that maybe it would give my daughter a preconceived idea of how she was to feel on her first day of school; however, the story delightfully turns around to the point where the little girl simply doesn't want to leave school and is already looking forward to day #2! 'Hope the same goes for us! The color illustrations are captivating and very creative!
Author: Guest This book is wonderfully written and illustrated. My two-year-old daughter wants to read it again and again. I definitely think it helps prepare children for nursery school. Each time we read the book, my daughter and I discuss the fact that she'll be attending nursery school soon, just like the girl in the book. I'm planning to purchase a book for a good friend, whose daughter is also about to start attending nursery school.
Author: Guest My 3 year-old loved this book. We read it to her just before starting preschool. She sat intently while I read the book to her. It acurately displays the conflicting feelings young children have when going to school. The excitement of playing with other children and doing new things and the fear of leaving mommy or daddy. It helped my daughter adjust to preschool. She still has me read it to her even though she has been in school for a few months.
