IS YOUR BUFFALO READY FOR KINDERGARTEN? written by Audrey Vernick, illustrated by Daniel Jennewein (Balzer & Bray, June 2010)
So the kids and I headed down there because
1) The book is perfect for my Kindergarten daughter
2) The illustrator Daniel Jennewein was in town ALL THE WAY FROM GERMANY
3) The illustrator is married to Lenore Appelhans the very cool book blogger from Presenting Lenore, and she was in town with him.
As a special treat, after Daniel read the book in his accent, he drew amazing pictures for each of the kids. They got to specify what they wanted, and look what he created. You know, people who can draw amaze me.
My daughter wanted an alligator.
My son wanted a pirate.

I'd definitely recommend this picture book for the Pre-K and Kindergarten crowd. They'll love it so much that they'll insist on bringing it to school to share with their Kindergarten class (like my daughter did today).
From Amazon:
Your buffalo is growing up. He plays with friends. He shares his toys. He's smart! But is he ready for kindergarten? (And is kindergarten ready for him?)
Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? is a hilarious look at first-day-of-school jitters from author Audrey Vernick and illustrator Daniel Jennewein.
