Part of the The Day My Mom Came to Kindergarten series
A child invites their mom to kindergarten and hilarity ensues as she struggles to follow the rules and fit in with the class.
A kindergartener invites her mom to class, only to find herself teaching her the rules. As her mom struggles with classroom etiquette, the girl becomes the patient guide. Can she handle the role reversal without losing her cool? This humorous tale explores patience and the joy of learning together.
I liked kindergarten from the very 1st day,” begins the narrator of this very funny and touching picture book. However, she notices, “My mom was happy for me, of course, but I got the feeling that she was also a little sad” to leave her. So one day the little girl invites her mom to join the kindergarten class for the day, which turns out to be a real learning experience — for both of them. Somehow her mom just can’t get any of the rules right: she barges to the front of the line, she shouts out without raising her hand, she slams down her scissors during Craft Time. How embarrassing! In a wonderful role reversal that will delight young children, the girl must become the patient and sometimes frustrated expert who instructs her mom on how to behave.
