Miss Bindergarten puts the finishing touches on the room just in time, and the students arrive. Now the fun can begin! This rhyming, brightly illustrated book is the perfect way to practice the alphabet and to introduce young children to kindergarten."Multifaceted and appealing, this book can be enjoyed in many ways, at home and at school."-The New York Times Book Review |
Amazon.com Review
On the first day of kindergarten, Miss Bindergarten must prepare her classroom for her beloved students. This noble, whimsical teacher greets her dark, summertime-empty classroom with an explosion of color--a bouquet of fall leaves, a goldfish, rolled-up posters, and shoeboxes full of no-doubt-delightful surprises. Meanwhile, her young students get ready, too: "Adam Krupp wakes up. Brenda Heath brushes her teeth. Christopher Beaker finds his sneaker." Author Joseph Slate matches each animal character with a letter of the alphabet, and readers can flip to the back to discover that Adam is an alligator, Brenda is a beaver, and Christopher is a cat--and so on, through the more obscure animals such as the quokka and the Uakari monkey. Youngsters will relish the scenes of school preparation, adorned by rhyming text: a mother iguana dragging her son Ian Lowe (who cries "I won't go!") out the front door, and the little vole Vicki Densel biting her pencil. And of course Miss Bindergarten is the kindergarten teacher we either remember fondly or wish we had. The final back-to-school classroom scene explodes with love and pride and the smell of freshly sharpened pencils. For kids who adore this book--and there are thousands--don't miss Joseph Slate and Ashley Wolff's second loving tribute to teachers and students, Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten. (Ages 4 and older) --Karin Snelson |

A must for K-teachers by C. Brannen  5 Stars
October 17, 2009
I read this book to my Kindergarten class every year at the beginning of school.
It's perfect because the illustrations are colorful and bright, the text is easy to understand and age-appropriate AND Miss Bindergarten does all the exact same things WE do!!
The class finds that so amazing!

It's OK... by Natalie (NJ)  3 Stars
July 29, 2009
Mom of 5 1/2 year old who reads sight words, knows alphabet, etc and the book was OK / cute, but nothing all that great as many reviews shared. The rhymes work but nothing my daughter will be able to read on her own as they aren't "typical" words in some cases.
Additionally, while the pictures do tell a bit of the story each page has very few words and getting through every letter of the alphabet takes many pages which I felt the concept of the teacher setting up her room to get lost a bit.
Overall I found I had to add the many missing pieces to guide my daughter to get the various details from the book...for example the teacher setting up her room and making it welcoming, children do various things before the leave for school, etc.

Unfortunately quality not as represented by M. Sternstein  2 Stars

Disappointed to receive this fabulous book in pretty bad shape; have already had to tape all pages together to just keep the book together. Luckily my 5 year old absolutely loves the book and doesn't care what it looks like.
