The first day of kindergarten is finally here, and Henry can't wait to paint pictures, sing songs, and practice counting. When he gets to school, though, he's not so sure he's ready for kindergarten. But before long Henry discovers that the only thing he's not ready for is how much fun he's going to have at school! This gently humorous, encouraging story will give children about to enter kindergarten an extra boost of confidence.
"Perfect for parents to share with their children, and the endearing Henry will offer reassurance to even the most hesitant prekindergartners." -Booklist
Not quite a FIRST reader but it is a great EASY reader. My granddaughter is in first grade; we sit down to read each evening. At the very beginning of the school year this was not one that she could read; but two months into the school year she had no problem with it.
