Kindergarten Diary

Antoinette Portis, Harper, $12.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-06-145691-6

When Annalina begins her diary on September 1, the day before kindergarten, she declares that she doesn’t want to go to “Big School.” But before she knows it Annalina is mastering the monkey bars, writing her name, and making new friends. By the end of the month, Annalina is “Too Busy to Write Any More!” With a narrator whose voice reads like a real kindergartner’s and mixed media illustrations that match the energy and humor of the text, Annalina’s diary exudes confidence and fun. Ages 4–8. (July)
