MILLIE MERMAID WANTS TO GO TO SCHOOL

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT–GIVING CHILDREN A VOICE

Starting school is a time of great excitement—and maybe some anxiety. One strategy to deal with this is to talk about it. The interactive format of this book gives early learners a chance to do just that.  By responding to suggested questions included on each page, the children have a meaningful way to participate in the story by voicing their feelings and reactions. Such shared conversations provide teachers, parents, and caregivers with insight into a young child’s world.

This short, distinctive book introduces Millie, a shy little mermaid who can’t wait to go to school to make new friends and play games like she thinks her big sister Kate is doing. But when she visits Miss Sandy’s Seaside School, she finds it’s not like a play-date, and she’s not quite sure what to expect. Can Miss Sandy help her feel better?
