As Daniel prepares for his first day of preschool, he is excited and ready to go. “Daniel Goes to Preschool” helps parents, teachers and students understand what children might be feeling on the first day of school and how to help the child through the fear of the unknown. Gayle Hardgrave has incorporated Spanish vocabulary words to help those students who may have a language obstacle to overcome.

Author Gayle Hardgrave is a former preschool teacher and has observed the range of emotions children go through on their first day in a new place. She wrote “Daniel Goes to Preschool” to help teachers and families appreciate children’s emotions and facilitate adjustment.

“Daniel Goes to Preschool” invites the reader to involve children in discussions of how the day progressed. It gives teachers the opportunity to show each child how similar they may be. Hardgrave has given preschool teachers young and old a tool to make their students more comfortable in their new surroundings.
