Students at Lincoln School in Oakland, 1910

As Oakland public school kids gear up for the start of a new school year on Monday, here are a few of our favorite books for kids about starting kindergarten or going back to school, available at the Montclair branch or by request from other Oakland branches:

Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten by Joseph Slate
We Share Everything! by Robert Munsch
Froggy Goes to School by Jonathan London
The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn
First Grade, Here I Come! by Nancy Carlson
This is the Way We Go to School: A book about children around the world by Edith Baer

Not at OPL, but worth looking up:

Does a Panda Go to School? by Fred Ehrlich
The Night Before Kindergarten by Natasha Wing
The Night Before First Grade by Natasha Wing

Have a safe and fun school year!
