If you are a parent of small children these stories will tell you what is, and is not acceptable in a typical Kindergarten classroom. If you are a Kindergarten teacher you will be quite familiar with the antics of fi ve or six year old students. If you are a Kindergartener these stories will sound like some of their own classmates. In other words this is just the way it is! The stories included in this book took place in a real Kindergarten classroom. The names have been changed to "protect the innocent"

After reading many children's books to my Children and grand-children and watching them grow and being able to read for themselves, I have decided to put some of my story telling ideas to print. I was inspired by my grand-children to write this book. I hope everyone enjoys the story and illustrations. The illustrations were drawn by one of my 8 grand-children.
