A good realistic fiction story. Because the story is about how a girl found so many fun at the fist day in kindergarten. This could actually happen to any kid who just start school. A good read aloud book.

Genre: fantasy
This is a good example of fantasy because it tells about what the school experience is like although a small child would not sneak into the class. It shows how the day is set up and what school is like from a small child's perspective.

Review: This book is an interesting book told from the point of view of a new kindergarten student. This young girls thoughts about school and the different events that she encounters make up the text of this primary level text. Kid friendly language, bright illustrations, and repetitious words
Genre: This book is an example of realistic fiction. Although a fictional character, the young girl is an excellent example of a what a kindergartener may be facing as they face their first school experience. Believable and realistic, this book does not project adult words into the text, but authentically keeps the thoughts of a young child. This book also, shows growth of the young girl as she slowly integrates into her kindergarten classroom. Although unsure at first, she participates from the edges of things and at the end of the day wants to return again.

This book is about a preschooler who walks into her brother's kindergarten class and familiarizes herself with the typical kindergarten day. This is a good example of contemporary realistic fiction because many preschoolers have siblings or friends that are in kindergarten.
