Cute book, but there are better books to prepare for kindergarten
The book talks about the different things kids will encounter in kindergarten, like sitting criss cross applesauce, recess, having many different best friends over the course of the day, finding a special treat in their lunchbox, etc. Each "topic" is its own freestanding little "poem". While the book is very cute and humorous, if your kid already goes to preschool, there's not really anything new talked about here. If you're looking for something that addresses a kid's fear or anxiety about going into kindergarten (new situations like riding the bus, getting lost, eating in the cafeteria, not knowing any of the other kids, etc), I suggest checking out Kindergarten Rocks by Katie Davis.
