Critics Review
“Harper’s watercolors deftly illustrate not only the showcased traits, but also the typical kindergarten classroom—floor mats, sink, snack table and bookshelves. Humorous details will encourage repeated readings. The classroom’s energy is contagious, and soon-to-be-Kindergarteners will be anxious to get to know the unique talents of their own new classmates. A cute combination of animal fact book and a lesson in kindergarten preparedness.” —Kirkus Reviews
