The book Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten by Joseph Slate is a fun alphabet book. The book is about Miss Bindergarten and her class getting ready for the first day of school. It goes through each students name, in alphabetical order. There are three reasons why I liked this book. First, I thought that it was a very engaging alphabet book. It was not the typicaly just listing a few letters on the page along with a story, but instead it had the alphabet letters at the beginning of students names. The second reason I liked it ties with the first, I liked how each letter was written bigger and in a different color compared to the rest of the text. Lastly, I liked the illustrations of the book and I enjoyed how each character was a different kind of animal. ( )

"Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten" is an alphabet picture book. The book has main characters as animals and is a cute read for young children learning their letters. The emphasized letter on that page in enlarged and in a different color and each activity the teacher does to get ready had a different emphasized letter. I would recommend this book for ages 3-6. I would use this book in my classroom because I think it is any easy read for children to follow along with and I also, think students can easily relate to the storyline. ( )

shows students the teachers side of school. ( )

This book contains parallel storylines that eventually come together at the end. This story is about Miss Bindergarten and her students getting ready for the first day of kindergarten. In the story Miss Bindergarten is getting her classroom and herself ready for her students to show up on the first day. This story also portrays several of Miss Bindergarten’s students getting ready for their first day of school. It shows the different students doing different things in their morning routine like brushing their teeth or putting on shoes. Once all of the routines are finished, then the storyline begins to intertwine and the students come to Miss Bindergarten’s class, and the journey begins. I also really enjoyed this story because it shows both perspectives. I think a of students get the impression that teachers don't have to get ready for school. This text shows that teachers in fact do have to get ready for school and get ready for the school year. ( )
