Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip with Kindergarten Book

Not only is Miss Bindergarten back, and well rested from having stayed home (in her previous book), she's stepping out with her kindergartners and two parent chaperones. They're visiting some fascinating sites in the neighborhood: the bakery, where the students see mouthwatering treats in the making; the fire station, where shiny, exciting equipment inspires everyone; the post office, where mail slots and post-office boxes amaze the students; and last, but certainly not least, the library-the place that offers the most possibilities of all! And then it's off to a class picnic to celebrate a morning well spent.

PreS-Gr 2-Miss Bindergarten takes her class on a field trip to a bakery, the firehouse, the post office, the library, and finishes the day with a picnic in the park. In the previous volumes, readers were introduced to the alphabet, counting, and the days of the week. In this book, in addition to reinforcing the alphabet, youngsters are asked to identify various shapes throughout the story, and a special page at the end allows them to check their work. The format is identical to the earlier titles-one or two lines of rhyming text to a page with large, colorful cartoons featuring animals in human dress. Miss Bindergarten, dressed in her sensible but fashionable green jumper and high-top shoes, is energetic and organized throughout the trip. This series is a marvelous introduction to school for young children, who will identify with the action and the characters, and who can look at the pictures and the story in several ways. Learning has never been more fun.-Marlene Gawron, Orange County Library, Orlando, FL Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
