It's the first day of school and Sam is nervous. He doesn't know anyone or even where to sit. When Ms. Tate tells them they're going on a nature walk, she passes out paper bags for the children to collect what they find.

Instead of looking for stuff for his own bag, Sam helps the other students find what they're looking for. At the end of the day, they're asked to present what they found. Everyone shows off their items, but Sam found something even more special outside. He found friends.

THE BEST SEAT IN KINDERGARTEN is perfect for first time readers who are going into their first day of school. Nobody knows anyone and that's okay. It's a chance to meet new people and make new friends. The words are simple and repetitive for learning readers to grasp without trouble.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to early readers, first day of school reads, and fans of stories about friendship.
