Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-09 00:00:00 Yelizavet Kitaynik Miss Bindergarten takes a field trip with Kindergarten is a delightful simple narrative in which Miss Bindergarten (a dog), some parent volunteers, and her students take a field trip to the bakery, the post office, the library, and the park. Each student's name and animal type coincides with a letter of the alphabet in order. The letters are emphasized in the text design, but the animal types are not always clear or well known; I had to look up both Quentin (probably an Australian quokka) and Ursula (a South American Uakari) and Kiki the kangaroo is almost entirely obscured by a firefighter's coat, helmet, and mask. Some of the animals could be confused: I knew Adam is an alligator, but a child might say crocodile if they aren't sure of their letter sounds (especially since it's the first one), Jessie is a jaguar but could pass for a leopard, Lenny is a lion but could pass for a puma, and Noah is a newt but could also pass for a lizard or salamander. An older primary student could probably roll with these challenges, but it could be confusing for a younger child. Additionally, the detail in the illustrations makes it hard to concentrate on which letter goes with which animal. I think this text would be best for kids ages 5-7.
