Ming Goes to School by Deirdre Sullivan, illustrated by Maja Löfdahl, is an introduction to school in a way that downplays the scary idea of separating from a parent and highlights the best parts of school. Ming meets new friends, she learns to color and play, and she learns to let her imagination take wing. Löfdahl’s soft watercolor illustrations are gorgeous, producing a calming effect that is matched by the simple text provided by Sullivan.
Ming Goes to School by Deirdre Sullivan, illustrated by Maja Löfdahl, is a good introduction for younger kids who have not been exposed to preschool or kindergarten yet. My daughter was less than enchanted with this one, which I suspect is because she’s heading into Kindergarten and already has graduated from Junior K. For younger kids, this could help ease them into a big transition by focusing on the positive aspects of school and growing up.
RATING: Tercet
I like the look of this one. I was thinking when I started the review that Wiggles is already a pro at going to school!
I think she is.
I miss the picture book phase. I still have all their faves boxed up for them to give to their kids.
She is sick of them already. LOL
I can see that Wiggles might be too old for this one. It looks like a sweet book.
She is too old for it, but that’s ok.
