Books about Kindergarten

Each year the library does a school-themed story time to celebrate the beginning of another school year! For your librarians, this is always a happy time of year because we get to say “yay” and “congrats” to a whole new set of 5-year-olds who are just starting out their first year of…KINDERGARTEN! We COULD choose to be sad about this, but we’re determined to see the silver lining!

With that in mind, here is a set of our favorite books about kindergarten for families to enjoy together. Have fun and come see us soon!
