Going back to school--with books!

The backpacks have been purchased.

Crayons are ready, waiting, with fresh paper.

Folders are marked, waiting to be filled with papers.

Everything seems ready.

Are your children?

When you have a young child starting preschool or kindergarten, it can be hard to prepare them for that first day.  Most of the time, it's easier for the child to understand these things when it's told to them in the form of a story.  Here's a list of some great back-to-school stories to share with your child: (Click on the title to place a hold via InfoSoup.)
