Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? Book

If your buffalo has a backpack, then he is certainly ready for Kindergarten! This book takes a silly look at first-day Kindergarten jitters through the eyes of a student who is sure to be unique. Buffalos may have trouble with certain rules, like No Grazing at recess, but your buffalo will also be great at hide-and-seek and serve as a comfy place to snuggle in to listen to stories. He will also learn about sharing with others and not losing his temper and butting them with his head. There's a lot to learn in Kindergarten, especially if you are a buffalo!

This is a hilarious look at Kindergarten that is sure to have children giggling. Ideal to share with Kindergarteners on that first day, or with your preschooler who is headed to Kindergarten. Vernick has written the book with an eye towards laughter, but also shows the daily routines of Kindergarten and the various issues that can arise. It is a very balanced look at Kindergarten done with a lot of humor. Jennewein's illustrations are comic and wonderful. He captures the pure silliness of the huge buffalo at school using simple lines and nice strong colors. The illustrations will work well with a group.

Highly recommended for all Kindergarteners and their parents, this is a great book to read in August to get your buffalo ready for school. Appropriate for ages 4-6.
