On the first day of kindergarten, my teacher gave to me . . . the whole alphabet from A to Z! Drawing on the rhythm and rich repetition of the familiar carol ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas,’ The Twelve Days of Kindergarten is a welcoming introduction to school. Upbeat text celebrates the new adventure of school, and hilariously detailed illustrations showcase kindergarteners that every child, teacher, and parent will recognise with glee. Readers of all ages will want to enrol! Deborah Lee Rose’s award-winning books are among the New York Public Library’s 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing. Carey Armstrong-Ellis’s work has been widely praised by USA Today, SLJ, Booklist, and other media.
