"This bouncy read-aloud taps into the anticipation children have about starting kindergarten. Using a seven day countdown, a little girl practices her counting, her ABCs, printing her name, even deciding what to wear the first day of school. Anna Jane Hays, author of Ready, Set, Preschool!, brings to it her 30 years of experience as director of publishing for Sesame Street.

""MY SCHOOL STARTS in one week so-I have SEVEN DAYS to go. Mom says be patient, do not worry. But I can't wait! I'm in a hurry!""In this delightful book a little girl counts off the days by naming what she'll do in kindergarten. ""I'll be ready, I'll be smart. I will get a running start. I'll say thank you, I'll say please. I will say my ABCs!"" And deciding what to wear and what to take are all part of her preparation for that exciting first day. With bouncy read-aloud rhyme, bright, fun illustrations, and hidden objects to find on each page, Kindergarten Countdown gets children off on the right foot."
