Ransom, Candice Amanda Panda Quits Kindergarten, illustrated
by Christine Grove. PICTURE BOOK. Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2017.
$17.99.
Amanda Panda is looking forward to her first day of kindergarten and
she has big plans for how awesome it is going to be--she'll write her name up
big on the board, win a footrace and more. When the big day arrives, however,
things do not go as planned. Another kindergartner, Bitsy, seems to always be
in the way, ruining everything Amanda Panda had hoped for. After she abandons
kindergarten for her brother's 2nd grade class, Amanda has the opportunity to
finally turn it around and make a new plan for kindergarten!
This is the
perfect book for any child who is nervous about the first day of school or a
reader who is struggling with change in general. The story is absolutely
delightful and I fell in love with it from my first read through! The
illustrations are wonderful and the text, though a little long, is written with
a humorous and easily understood tone. This is a great choice for parents and
libraries, alike.
