Summary

¡Ahora disponible en español! Lola se prepara para una nueva y emocionante aventura: ¡su primer día de escuela!

Una lectura alegre y alentadora que deja de lado todo mito sobre el preescolar y el jardín de infantes. Desde la noche anterior, Lola y su familia se preparan para el primer día de escuela. Al día siguiente se levantan temprano, se toman fotos y salen para la escuela. Allí, Lola pone sus cosas en un lugar especial, escoge actividades para hacer, lee, juega y toma la merienda. Sin darse cuenta, ya es hora de cantar la canción de despedida y de ir corriendo a los brazos de mamá, que la espera con mucho cariño.

A comforting, cheerful read that demystifies the school day for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Lola and her family prepare for the first day of school the night before, then get up early, take pictures, and head to class. Lola puts her things in her cubby, chooses her activities, reads, plays, and has a snack. Before she knows it, it's time to sing the good-bye song and rush into Mommy's arms for a warm reunion.
