I really enjoyed this cute little story. The story is about a little girl named Alice and her older brother Tom. Tom is upset because Alice is entering kindergarten at the same school he goes to. He is not happy about sharing his school with his baby sister. He argues with his parents and gets angry at the thought of Alice at HIS school.
Everything changes the first day she is there when Tom hears a cry on the playground and realizes the cry came from Alice. Some child took away Alice's teddy bear and Tom saves the day. He even gives his baby sister a kiss. After this, he is proud to have her at school and she feels that she is going to be just fine at her new school with her awesome older brother. They can honestly say they had a great first day of school together.
I think this book would be great to use with younger students. Those who are expecting younger siblings would especially benefit from this and realize it's not the end of the world to have someone else brought into the mix. I also think it is an enjoyable story to read just for fun.
