Focuses on sad parents, not excited kindergartners!
I bought this sight-unseen as a book to read to my son before kindergarten. It sounded like it would get him excited for the big day. Unfortunately, this book focuses on the sad parents peering in on the kids and crying. It also sets the precedent that parents will stay during their first day and watch them, which is not allowed. If anything, this book makes kids concerned that their parents are crying without them... I'd skip this and look for an uplifting book about kindergarten.
