They are ready for kindergarten! With a playful call and response format, the story reassures young readers of the skills they already have that mean they are ready to begin school. Includes a note to caregivers by education experts about tips for helping kids get kindergarten ready. | Ready for Kindergarten by Bethany V. Freitas, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
