Book overview

Beginning readers will love this warm introduction to all the excitement and uncertainty of starting kindergarten!

It's Sam's first day of kindergarten, and he's not so sure what to expect. Sam's teacher, Ms. Tate, takes the class on a nature walk, and at the very end, everyone gets to show off what they found! Sam makes new friends when he helps everyone find interesting things for show-and-tell.

On the first day of kindergarten, everyone is new at school--including Sam. Kindergartners and kindergartners to be will relate to Sam's worries and be reassured by how well his day goes.

The team that wrote and illustrated the I Can Read favorites The Best Seat in First Grade and The Best Seat in Second Grade knows how to create a gentle, believable, sweet story that helps kids explore their emotions and reflect on their own experiences.

The Best Seat in Kindergarten is a My First I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for shared reading with a child. Books at this level feature basic language, word repetition, and whimsical illustrations, ideal for sharing with emergent readers. The active, engaging stories have appealing plots and lovable characters, encouraging children to continue their reading journey.
