King of the Classroom

Starting kindergarten is a big milestone - and the hero of this story is ready to make his mark!

He's dressed himself, eaten a pile of pancakes, and can't wait to be part of a whole new kingdom of kids.

The day will be jam-packed, but he's up to the challenge, taking new experiences in stride with his infectious enthusiasm!

And afterward, he can't wait to tell his proud parents all about his achievements - and then wake up to start another day.

Newbery Honor-winning author Derrick Barnes's empowering story will give new kindergarteners a reassuring confidence boost, and Vanessa Brantley-Newton's illustrations exude joy.
