On Daniel the elephant's first day of preschool, his mother does all the right things to reassure him. The book then goes through his day step by step, explaining everything Daniel does, and an editor's note gives parents tips on handling separation anxiety. The detailed pen and watercolor illustrations and wordy text ask too much of toddlers' attention span, but as a teaching tool this is textbook clear.
