It's the night before preschool, and a little boy named Billy is so nervous he can't fall asleep. The friends he makes the next day at school give him a reason not to sleep the next night, either: he's too excited about going back!

The book is cute but I'm not a giant fan about how it talks about preschool being so scary--- not every child feels that way and I just don't think we have to put those thoughts into their head- I had to change the words to put a positive spin on it.
My daughter started preschool this year, and she was showing signs of being nervous in the weeks before school started. I bought her this book to help calm her nerves, and it did just that! It's a cute story, and it shows kids that it's OKAY to be nervous, but also that everything will work out just fine.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I was hoping this would be a "preschool's fun, let's get excited!" kind of book, but it focused on a boy who was nervous and sad at preschool all day. My son still likes me to read this to him, but it doesn't portray the message I was hoping for.
Was a cute read for the night before my daughters first day of preschool. It does mention being nervous to go - which my daughter was not. If your little one takes to cues from books - and has no anxiety or nerves - this might not be a good book to read.Was really well written and if your little one IS nervous, works through those nerves/anxiety in a nice way!!
My daughter has her favorite books & doesn't like to stray too much but she fell in love with this book & has me read it to her over & over again. The book talks about how much fun pre-school is & even though a little boy is kind of withdrawn, nervous & scared by the end of the day he was looking foward to going back. That little message eased my worries I had for my little one but she's so cool, it was harder on me!
This book is AWESOME! My son loved it, I loved it, and my husband loved it. It really showed what a day at Preschool would be like. We are preparing my son for his first day at Preschool, and this really helped my son get an idea of what fun things he would do.I will buy more books from this series for sure!
Great fun -- extra fun for those who know the "twas the night before Christmas" story! This actually gets 4.5 stars from me because I love everything about it except that it can serve as one of those books that makes kids who weren't thinking about being nervous or worried about pre-school ...well... a bit nervous and worried (?)The illustrations are cute and the rhyming text is fun. My 3.5yo was off to preschool the day after reading this and I asked him which kid on the page he identified with and he did pick the boy the story is about -- the one who is scared. I know my son doesn't like new things (more so than even most kids) so I was find with this book. But if your child is not one to worry over preschool don't get it.Also, I do feel the examples it gave about what would happen in school were quite contemporary. If I recall correctly, there was even a decent amount of diversity in skin tones, hair colors, names, etc. And a male pre-school teacher ... which my son has, so yay!
This is a great book to prepare your child for the first day at preschool. I purchased it along with "What to Expect at Preschool" by Heidi Murkoff and it was a great combination - I highly recommend both!
