From the best-selling author of the hugely popular Kindergarten, Here I Come!, here's a guidebook in verse that shows children how to be kind in the new and exciting world of kindergarten.

Small enough to fit in a child's backpack, this collection of short poems--one to a page--spans the entire year of kindergarten, offering sweet and simple tips on how to be your best self--sharing your umbrella with a friend; taking turns on the swings, and inviting someone to join in a game. This is the perfect companion to DJ Steinberg's enormously successful Kindergarten, Here I Come!
Best-selling author D.J. Steinberg may look like a grownup, but on the inside, he's actually just an oversized kid who likes to write books about all the big and little moments of growing up.  He has published over 20 books including graphic novels, picture books, board books and early readers.  You can find out more about his popular "Here I Come!" series of rhyming books for all occasions wherever books are sold, and you can check out more about D.J. online at www.djsteinberg.com.
