They can stand in line
(sort of), use indoor voices (perhaps), and are capable of sharing
(rumor has it), so the Click Clack critters are ready for school…but is
school ready for them?(goodreads summary)
Hurray for School...It has been a long time since Farmer Brown has been to school. All the animals are excited as well until Farmer Brown tells them a few rules. Luckily, the animals studied the rule books all night and by the next morning were all lined up quietly and ready to go. Farmer Brown was so proud of his animals! They arrive at school just in time for recess and soon find out that things just might not be as serious as Farmer Brown implied. Another fun book in the Click, Clack series that will sure be a hit for the first few weeks of school. Kids will connect with learning inside rules versus having outside free time. Illustrations are large for viewing and the text flows for an easy read aloud to a group. And of course in the end, Duck is up to no good. These books always seem to bring on the giggles during reading. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~

Now: Begin. (goodreads summary)
Since the new school year is upon us, it always seems to be the best time to find some new stories to read to the kids. When I saw this book by one of my favorite authors, I knew I had to give it a try and happy that I did. It made me smile and I felt this charming book would be the perfect story for the beginning of the school year in any classroom or library. Inside is a cute step-by-step guide teaching its' reader on how to be a good reader. It encourages simple but important ways to reading such as; choosing a good book, having a good reading spot with a buddy, reading out loud in a clear voice, using character voice changing, sounding out words you don't know and making predictions. These are only a handful of examples of what to expect from the content. The illustrations are plentiful and fun having a story within a story being told as well. It promotes everything you need that helps children become a good reader. It would definitely make a great addition to the classroom library that kids will want to read over and over again. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 4-7.~
