Children who are worried about making it through a whole year of kindergarten may be reassured by this picture book about a kindergarten graduation. Before the ceremony (for which they've made decorations and learned a special song), the teacher asks the students "Who can guess what is the best thing about kindergarten?" The students, who are diverse and energetic, pipe up with plenty of guesses -- the playhouse, storytime, the block corner, recess -- and each enthusiastic suggestion proves the teacher's point: that the best thing about kindergarten is the children themselves. A sweetly earnest story for kindergarteners at any time of year. Picture books newsletter September 2014
