This is the one with the shrinking mom and kid. ( )

This book is about a little boy about to go to kindergarten, and in this role-reversing story, he has to comfort his nervous mother about his first day. This book is unique because normally when you read stories about the first day of school, it is typically a parent comforting a child, but this story does well with the change. This book is appropriate for early elementary readers ( )

This book perfectly describes how a parent and child feels on their very first day of school. The parent is nervous and may be over protective. In the end , they both overcome their fears of going to school and watching their child grow up. This is a great book to be read to younger kids on their first day of school. ( )

This picture book is great for kindergarten students who are a bit afraid of their first day of school because it shows how courageous the little boy is. It is the first day of kindergarten and instead of the child being worried, the mother is worried for him. She makes sure that her son has everything he needs in his backpack and that he gets to school safely. ( )

This book is about a boy who is starting his first day of Kindergarten. He is starting new things in his life and is excited, but on the other hand his mother is not. He reassures his mother that everything is going to be okay.

I would use this book in Pre-K and on the first day of Kindergarten, or send home a copy to my Pre-Kers at the end of the year. It is heartfelt and shows the parents that they are going to be okay. ( )
