The Last Day of Kindergarten

32 pp. | Cavendish | February, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7614-5807-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sachiko Yoshikawa. A girl who sounds twice as old as she's supposed to describes her last day of kindergarten, first in melancholy terms and then with post-graduation-ceremony excitement. The story may resonate with rising first graders; more likely it's really intended to help parents deal with the fact that their kids are growing up. Yoshikawa's digital mixed-media illustrations nail a classroom's multicolored paraphernalia.
