Description

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.

About the Author

As a child Audrey Vernick successfully completed kindergarten, where the hardest assignment she was ever given in class was to think of a word that rhymed with her first name. She is also the author, with her sister Ellen Glassman Gidaro, of the picture book Bark and Tim: A True Story of Friendship. Ms. Vernick lives with her family in Ocean, New Jersey.

Praise for Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten?…

“Vernick’s amusing tale will prove handy as a first-day-of-school book recommendation for children and teachers alike.”
-School Library Journal

“This story’s simple lesson about individuality is cleverly expressed through Vernick’s gentle wit and Jennewein’s crayon-outlined kindergartners—most of all, the furry and ungainly reader surrogate with whom kids will readily relate.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“As an embodiment of school anxiety, this buffalo leads the herd-plus, he’s got a hump.”
-Kirkus
