A delightfully illustrated book about Elizabeth and her new friends in first grade, learning to read, write, listen to stories, add, subtract, paint and climb the jungle gym. They make friends and join a new world of learning, coupled with fun. This book is a wonderful companion for children starting school-a mirror of their own lives.Great to read to kids going into preschool, perhaps by an older child who can read already. Also a good book for kids who have been through preschool.
