Synopsis

Dexter is ready for kindergarten. Sort of. Well, actually, he's maybe kind of a little bit scared, perhaps even terrified, one might say. Because what if he gets lost? Or, what if the teacher is mean? Or, he misses his mom or dad? Or, worst of all, he loses his most important ally, Rufus?

With the same warmth, exuberance, and sly wit that have made her a favorite of booksellers and children, Katie Davis tackles a problem every kid--and parent--has to face sooner or later: first-day fears. And she shows that it's okay to be scared, but that, as Dexter's older sister Jessie says, "Kindergarten rocks!"

About this title

Review:

"First-day-of-schoolers will shout Kindergarten Rocks! after reading Katie Davis's funny, empathetic title about The Big Day."--"FamilyFun Magazine "(September 2005)
"Little ones with butterflies might be cheered by Katie Davis's bright-as-a-crayon "Kindergarten Rocks!," in which 5-year-old Dexter insists he has no qualms about the big day: 'Kindergarten will be a piece of cake. Nooooo problem.' However, Dexter allows that his toy dog, Rufus, might be 'an eensy teensy beensy bit scared.' Naturally, all fears prove gloriously unfounded."--"Washington Post Book World" (August 7, 2005)
"Bound to boost confidence at facing fears . . . terrific."--Kirkus Reviews
