Children's Books About Starting School 


     Picture books about beginning of school can help to lessen apprehensions, and most importantly, can open a channel of communication about school between you and your child-the start of a life long habit.  Using children's books to show that it can indeed help in times of stress.  Story characters who model successful adjustments are an excellent resource for children as well as parents.  The following books will reinforce positive feelings about school, and are appropriate long past the first day of school, as children work through first time experiences and feelings:
