1
day to Kindergarten.

Now it’s time to pack my stuff.
Hope my backpack’s big enough
for my picture book and truck
and shiny rock to bring me luck.

School is just
one night away!
I brush my teeth and jump in bed
with letters and numbers in my head.
I will try to go to sleep
by counting Kindergarten sheep!

0
days to Kindergarten.

I waited seven days to say—
Kindergarten
starts today!

Anna Jane Hays,
after twenty-nine years at Sesame Street, retired as vice president of book publishing for Children’s Television Workshop in New York and returned to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she now lives and writes. She has written a number of books for young children, including the widely acclaimed
Ready, Set, Preschool!
“With lots of cheerfully illustrated rhymes, stories, and interactive games, this big picture book is an excellent title to prepare kids for preschool,” wrote
Booklist
in its review.

Linda Davick
lives and works near the ocean in San Francisco, California, with her husband and Mabel the cat, who has a way of appearing in Linda’s books. She is the illustrator of
10 Trick-or-Treaters
by Janet Schulman. “Davick’s vibrant graphic art is chockablock with shapes and angles that keep the mood light and the creatures and costumed monsters more fun than frightening. A not-too-scary treat for the youngest Halloween fans,” wrote
School Library Journal
in its review.
