Summary
Summary
Beginning readers will love this warm introduction to all the excitement and uncertainty of starting kindergarten!
It's Sam's first day of kindergarten, and he's not so sure what to expect. Sam's teacher, Ms. Tate, takes the class on a nature walk, and at the very end, everyone gets to show off what they found! Sam makes new friends when he helps everyone find interesting things for show-and-tell.
On the first day of kindergarten, everyone is new at school--including Sam. Kindergartners and kindergartners to be will relate to Sam's worries and be reassured by how well his day goes.
The team that wrote and illustrated the I Can Read favorites The Best Seat in First Grade and The Best Seat in Second Grade knows how to create a gentle, believable, sweet story that helps kids explore their emotions and reflect on their own experiences.
The Best Seat in Kindergarten is a My First I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for shared reading with a child. Books at this level feature basic language, word repetition, and whimsical illustrations, ideal for sharing with emergent readers. The active, engaging stories have appealing plots and lovable characters, encouraging children to continue their reading journey.

Kirkus Review
A beginning reader introduces readers to one little boy and his method for making new friends. It's the first day of kindergarten, and none of the nervous kids know where to sit. Ms. Tate bypasses this problem by taking them all out for a nature walk: "Find something interesting. Then show us what you found." Each of Sam's classmates is looking for a different item to add to their bag: Sophie seeks rocks, Miguel's collecting bugs, Lily wants pine cones, Ollie's picking flowers, and Nina is bagging acorns. Sam adds to each of their collections, but his own bag remains empty. So when it's time to share what they found, Sam's response is "Friends!" Meant for shared reading between an experienced reader and a new learner, this My First level title in the I Can Read! line features lots of repetition, patterned text, and short sentences (though the vocabulary poses an appropriate challenge). One niggling detail is the inapt title of this book. When the kids reenter the classroom, they all suddenly know where to sit without instruction. Carter's watercolors provide context clues and depict a diverse classroom; Sam presents white while Ms. Tate has pale skin and straight, black hair.Young readers may well be spurred to use Sam's methodology on their own first days.
