The King of Kindergarten by Derrick Barnes

The King of Kindergarten is another back-to-school read aloud that I plan to share in the future. The 5-year-old in this story is excited about starting school because his mommy tells him that he is going to be the King of Kindergarten! He brushes his "royal chiclets" (teeth) before a "big yellow carriage" (bus) takes him to the "grand fortress" (school). His first-day in his "Kindergarten Kingdom" is wonderful! His teacher reads books to the class, they have recess, lunch, and nap time, and they get to sing, dance, and play music. He cannot wait to return the next day.

I love the color-filled pages of this book, especially the illustration of the quilt on the very first page. I also love the happy and positive mood of this book. It should really help excite new kindergartners about starting school!
