This alphabet rhyme/activity book mash-up walks preschoolers through what to expect when starting kindergarten. A generic rhyming text with awkward irregular rhythms is paired with pleasant-enough illustrations featuring a diverse group of children getting ready and looking excited; "Kinder Countdown" and "Kinder Challenge" sidebars (tangentially related to the letter) contain some useful activities and school-preparation ideas for families.
