What to Expect at Preschool

What to Expect

by Heidi Murkoff, Laura Rader (Illustrator)

With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi Murkoff extends a hand to children and parents as they tackle life's first experiences together. It's hard to believe, but your child's starting preschool. Even if it's just for a couple of hours two or three days a week, it seems such a big step for someone in such little sneakers. Not to worry -- we're here to help prepare both of you for that step. We'll answer your child's questions about what preschool is like, what preschoolers do, who teachers are, and how they help to make preschool such a fun and special place -- so that the first day of preschool will be a day you'll both look forward to. Have fun! Heidi and Angus

Very instructive for little ones just starting school, What to Expect at Preschool covers it all.

This book was extremely helpful for preparing my older child for preschool, and I look forward to reading it with my younger one when he gets ready for school too. It has lots of basic information that is very accessible for kids, complete with big pictures and a friendly dog. It talks about drop-off time, circle time, pick-up time, snack time, and even how a kid can ask a teacher for anything, even a hug. A great book!

Not as engaging as My Preschool, but very informative and my soon-to-be preschooler liked Angus, the mascot dog.
