There won’t be a zoo escapade or a high-flying circus exploit today for Adventure Annie. Instead, it is her FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN ADVENTURE! Luckily with her zookeeper hat, her high-wire slippers, and her walkie-talkies tucked into her backpack, Adventure Annie is ready for anything–even Kindergarten! Her teacher isn’t pleased when Annie tries to turn every activity into an adventure, but when the milk for snack time goes missing, it’s ADVENTURE ANNIE TO THE RESCUE! This energetic and laugh-out-loud story is sure to get every kid excited about starting their own Kindergarten Adventure.
Reviews:
“Annie’s good intentions, optimism, and curiosity make her a likable character and an excellent one to dispel fears for incoming kindergartners.” ~ School Library Journal
“Toni Buzzeo’s jaunty text and Amy Wummer’s jovial artwork convey a gentle message while keeping the tone effervescent. Use this bubbly book to introduce your own classroom rules and encourage individual exuberance.” ~ SLJ Curriculum Connections
“With the help of this ever-spunky heroine, readers will discover that, as Annie’s mother puts it, ‘Sometimes . . . kindergarten is its own adventure.’” ~ Publishers Weekly
“Washed with bright, cheerful watercolors, the cartoon-style pencil drawings magnify the story’s humor and high spirits. A fine addition to the Adventure Annie series, this picture book offers a dynamic alternative to stories about shy kids with kindergarten jitters.” ~ Booklist
“Buzzeo’s dauntless heroine’s attitude is infectious, and Wummer gives the curly-mopped tyke all the visual verve she deserves.” ~ Kirkus
