Starting kindergarten is a big step, and the hero of this story is more than ready! He dresses on his own, eats a stack of pancakes, and finally enters the children's realm. The day is busy, but he takes up the challenge and lives new experiences with contagious enthusiasm! He can not wait to tell his exploits to his parents who will be proud of him, no doubt.

The life-giving story of author Derrick Barnes, winner of the Newberry Medal, will give new kindergarten students confidence and comfort. Vanessa Brantley-Newton's illustrations, on the other hand, convey the joy and joy that come with new beginnings.
