A sing-song rhyme about getting up and going to school gets a sprightly boost with this cute board book. With tabs to pull (even on the cover!), sliders to push and pull, and a wheel to turn, the book is a satisfyingly interactive experience. Digital art in fresh colors shows cheerful animal parents getting their offspring off to school. This sweet offering may help kids feel good about the dreaded first day (if it happens in 2020).

Interactive board book featuring chunky sliders for lasting interactive elements. Sing along to the tune "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" to prepare little ones for a day at school. While the song would work well for storytime, the text-heavy and illustration-dense pages make this a bit much for young toddlers. Cute for one-on-one reading with preschoolers.

The sing along with the QR code is not as exciting as the other books in the sing along series. The book itself has a variety of animals getting ready for school. The interactive features work well with the text. For the spinning slider definitely lift up the page to slide it to make it spin easier. Thank you to Nosy Crow for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

New lyrics to the classic song, "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush."
Includes five verses - we get out of bed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, go to school, and wave goodbye.

A fun way to teach children about what they should expect when they start school.

Cute little board book that would be great for littles that would be heading to school. It's VERY short.

Fine motor skills can be practiced while singing along--moving dials, swiping back and forth, etc.
