Bøker av Sylvia A. Rouss

New experiences can be scary, especially going to school for the first time.Ever wonder what to tell your child who may be apprehensive about going to preschool? Award winning author and early childhood educator, Sylvia Rouss, has written another book inspired by the children in her own classroom. She takes the verses of Ecclesiastes-the ones that inspired Pete Seeger's song "Turn, Turn, Turn"-and transforms them into an entertaining look at what kids can look forward to in preschool.Through photos from an actual preschool class, In My Preschool shows all the new and exciting activities your child can experience. They learn that there's a time to talk and to listen, to play and be quiet, to walk and to run, to be messy and clean, to be noisy and be quiet and much more. Most importantly, they can see that preschool isn't scary at all, but some place that's fun.In My Preschool, There is a Time for Everything will delight the young readers of Rouss's Sammy Spider series and the Littlest series. Sylvia Rouss's stories have been translated into Spanish, Dutch, French and Portuguese with almost one million copies of her books sold to children around the world.
