Miss Bindergarten and the Best Friends

Author: Joseph Slate Illustrator: Ashley Wolff Publisher: Penguin Group Reviewer: Heather Brady, Children’s Library Associate, Moore Public Library

It’s time for back to school, and we have plenty of books to help your family prepare! The Miss Bindergarten books are a perfect series to get started with as your little one goes back to school, especially kindergarten. Emily and Vicky are in Miss Bindergarten’s class together and are best friends. They also appear to enjoy the same things. They even dress alike—but are they really twins? Maybe it is all pretend?

Miss Bindergarten and the Best Friends is a Level 2 reader. It offers longer sentences, simple dialogue, picture and context clues and more in-depth plot development. This title is on the Accelerated Reader book list, with a 1.0 reading level and is worth half of a point.

At the Moore Public Library, we have a neat selection of Early Readers to choose from and plenty of books about starting school and school-related subject matter.
