Book of the Month

Starting school can be both exciting and scary for preschoolers. Talking positively about school and discussing their day helps children adjust. If You Take a Mouse to School by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond can be one way to reinforce postiive attitudes toward school.

Children enjoy the books in this series because they are silly and one thing always leads to another. The cliffhanger at the end leaves you thinking that the whole series of events will start again!

Children can begin to retell the story themselves by looking at the pictures because it has a predictable series of events. Visit the public library to find If You Give a Pig a Pancake, or If You Give a Dog a Donut and even more of these unforgettable stories.
