Not only did the kids love this book, but I enjoyed it.  Cute story line. Gift quality book, great illustrations.  My niece doesn't care for most books, but this one encouraged her to read it all on her own.

I read this to my 4 year old. He enjoyed our first chapter book, but some parts are a little dark for a small kid.

My granddaughter (4th grade) enjoyed partially reading it prior to a visit in DC. After the visit she continued to read the stories and use as a reference.

It's all about ending kindergarten and coming into .......... First grade. I like it:-)

This review was written by my 6 year old daughter. I thought she might enjoy it as she too is moving from kindergarten into first grade. Illustrations were cute. Story was age appropriate and relatable.

A good story for beginning readers. Suitable for both boys and girls. I have one of each and they both love it. Cute illustrations.

I bought this kindle book for my son, who is 6 years old and in first grade. The book comes with simple words with nice pictures on each of the pages. The level of reading is suitable for advanced Kindergarden or first graders. It seems that the book provides good content and picture enough that my son can be interested and engaged in reading. (considering my son doesn't really like reading, I think this is definitely a positive aspect of the book). Besides, it's educational. I'm glad that my son likes the book. And since it's kindle book, I had him read it whenever possible, sometime on his pad or on my phone when we travel. I received the product at a discount in exchange for an honest opinion.

I am a teacher and I use this to give my students the joy of reading.  It is good for grades 1-5, depending on reading level.

Good book for a third grade reader.  A little sad for kids who tend to be a more sensitive though.

Great for what it is.  The authors writing is getting better through the series.  The book would work well as a read aloud because each chapter is its own adventure.  In the same genre as  Life of Fred, it's a fun way to introduce or reinforce science concepts.  this series seems about right for 4th grade and up.

This is a good book for Kindergarten to 3rd grade. It teaches children to practicing count, but also, it stimulates their abilities in visual perception. Nice pictures, clever book, good "eye-training" for kids, keeps them busy in something positive. Very good classroom book, nice "bonding" book for parents with children.

I am really surprised that this book is out of print. It's a cute little book about the first days of school and the adventures of Amanda Pig, a little girl who has been waiting and waiting until she is old enough to ride on the bus and go to school like her brother Oliver.

In regards to reading level I would say that this book is something a second grader might be reading. While the print is still fairly large there are quite a few words on some pages. See Amazon's "search inside this book" feature to judge for yourself.

Vocabulary includes words like: finally, ribbons, purple, animals, Alexander, laughing, lollipop, answer, skyscraper, suitcase, astronaut, and tomorrow.

Both of my children (boy and girl: 4 and 6 this month) enjoy this book and it is a fairly good read-aloud.

I particularly like that there is a chapter structure to the book as I think it gets new-readers prepared for the appearance of chapters in the future. In addition, I think the subplot about Lollipop's (Emily) shyness is dealt with nicely. As is Amanda's mistake of taking the teachers chair when the children gather for circle time. There is no hysterics or scolding, only a pointing out that Amanda made a mistake and that it is easily rectified.

Four Stars. Artwork is attractive and the stories are engaging for toddlers on up. Publishers Weekly has the reading level as appropriate for beginning readers (age 5 - 8) but I think that there are quite a few words per page and that it would be to much for a kindergartener and even most first graders.

Cute story. My preschooler thought the story was interesting and the pictures were funny to him. It's a good book for people with younger kids.

This is a great book for kiddos.  My 1st grade daughter read it easily.  It is one that she frequently goes back to for "fun reading".

My 2nd grader has really enjoyed reading this book. The story is cute and engaging. It relates well to what a child this age wants to know about.

Our child enjoyed this book.
It was a good book to break our child out of the beginner reading stage.

Well written and age appropriate to read with early elementary.  A quick read with a good mx of text and pictures.
