Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten

Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten by Joseph Slate and illustrated Ashley Wolff is an amazing book! The books takes you through the different things students do while they get ready for school, and it also shows what a teacher goes through to get ready for the first day of kindergarten.
This book can be used for many different things. One, it can be used to lighten the tension on the first day of school. But it can really be used for a teaching aide. It would be really good to use when teaching the alphabet. Each child’s name is a different letter of the alphabet and the letter is in a different color. For example, A is Adam, B is Brenda, and C is Christopher. Each character is an animal whose name starts with the same letter of the alphabet. For example: D is for Danny who is a dog, E is for Emily who is an elephant and F is for Fran who is a frog.
This book could also be used to teach rhyming. Each saying on the page rhymes which makes the book catchy and fun for young children. Well, I like rhyming books too, so maybe for everyone it’s catchy and fun! Some examples of the rhyming are “Gwen McGunny packs her bunny. Henry Fetter fights his sweater.”
Over all this is a great book to use in a classroom or to read to your kids on their first day of kindergarten.
