Young children often never think that Mommy was once a child and this delightful story, Once Upon a Time Mommy Went to School is an excellent way to show a child that at one time Mommy used to be little too. In the story Mommy Fox tells her little one about her first day at school and covers all the worries that children have facing this new situation.The illustrations are cute, vivid and using animals for the children makes it fun for children when the story is read to them. The button to read it for the child is useful for parents that English is a second language or for the child to listen to the book on their own. We have used books on tape and CD's in the classroom for years to give children the opportunity to hear a story told as an independent pre-reading activity in our preschool room. The story listening center is very popular with the four-year-olds in our room. This age child loves to hear the same story over and over and being able to listen independently gives them the opportunity and reading it on a Kindle, just like an adult builds confidence and language skills, needed to learn to read, as they get older. One of the primary goals of reading often in the preschool classroom is to show the children that books are a fun way to learn new ideas and develop an interest in reading. The format of this beautiful story on a subject that is of interest to young children is a great way to help children develop pre-reading skills they will need in the future.
