Review
This is a cute book about Rosie, a toddler who attends preschool. Rosie explains the routine of preschool to the reader who might be new to the experience. The book is large (11.5 x 12 in.) and the illustrations are simple and bright. The children and teachers are multi-racial. Every few pages has a small circle with a Rosie tip inside such as - "Make sure to say Goodbye to your teacher" which introduces the reader to the social expectations of the experience. It would be a good book to read to a toddler who may be about to enter preschool or who already attends. I read the book to my 4 and 7 year old grandchildren and they were engaged in the story and told me how things were the same or different at the preschool they had attended.
Overall Book Score: very good
