Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Dexter is ready for kindergarten. Sort of. Well, actually, he's maybe kind of a little bit scared, perhaps even terrified, one might say. Because what if he gets lost? Or, what if the teacher is mean? Or, he misses his mom or dad? Or, worst of all, he loses his most important ally, Rufus?
With the same warmth, exuberance, and sly wit that have made her a favorite of booksellers and children, Katie Davis tackles a problem every kid--and parent--has to face sooner or later: first-day fears. And she shows that it's okay to be scared, but that, as Dexter's older sister Jessie says, "Kindergarten rocks!" Review:"Dexter Dugan is about to start kindergarten, and his stuffed dog, Rufus, 'is an eensy teensy beensy bit scared' about it. Thankfully, Dex's third-grader sister, Jessie, sees that her brother is really the scared one and sets about cheerfully reassuring her sibling: 'Don't worry, kindergarten rocks,' says a cartoon bubble extending from Jessie. Dex's first-person narration maintains his false bravado. 'I got Jessie to help me make a list of things Rufus was scared about. I'm not worried, though,' reads the text, as Jessie busily writes at a desk, a flurry of papers swirling around her ('What if my teacher is mean?' reads one page, 'What if I have to go #2?' reads another). The interplay of Dex's narrative, which addresses readers directly, and his cartoon-bubble exchanges with his sister respectfully and humorously covers a new student's cornucopia of concerns. Davis's (Who Hoots?) colorfully crayoned illustrations maintain an upbeat tone, even when Dex loses Rufus in class. The buoyant vignettes of Dex enjoying himself at school will reassure even the most fearful of the pre-kindergarten set. Ages 4-6. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:Sure, some kids are a little afraid of going to kindergarten, but not Dexter. No, he's not a bit afraid . . . he's terrified.
