Tuesday Treasure
How perfect is Tom's teacher. I adore her. Tom is heading off to Kindergarten and his teacher is called
Mrs Kindergarten
I should also mention she is a polar bear and Tom is a panda. Tom is excited to go to school BUT when Mum and Dad start to say goodbye Tom just cannot let go. Mrs Kindergarten says they can both stay. Everyone has a fabulous day.
Then the next day Tom heads off to Kindergarten again but this time, even though he is happy to say goodbye, his parents don't want to leave. Mrs Kindergarten gently suggests that perhaps Daddy should go to work and Mummy might have things to do at home. Sadly Mum and Dad leave but back at work and at home they manage to have fun even without being in the classroom.
I am so sad to report this book is out of print but I would think most Primary school libraries in Australia will have a copy. I picked my mint condition copy up at a recent charity book sale for just $1. This is a perfect book to share with a young child and I am sure it is one your child will want to revisit both before starting school or preschool and once they have been along there for a few days or weeks.
We were talking in a school library recently about picture books to help with separating from parents and fears about going to school. Here are some other books on this topic:
