32 pages. Walker, 2001.
Tim visits his kindergarten before starting school. He visits all the different parts of the classroom: the science center, the art center, and so on. He anticipates learning about how plants and animals grow, making art, learning to count, read, write, tell time, and cook. He meets a new classmate. At first Tim experiences the school and his classroom as big, but once he's gotten to know the classroom, it feels just right. This story offers kids an opportunity to join Tim in anticipating the fun of kindergarten. Children who feel a bit overwhelmed by the prospect of going to the "big school" will be reassured that if it can stop seeming so big to Tim, it can for them too.
