在去幼儿园的前一天晚上，孩子们既兴奋又害怕。

收拾学校用品，跟爸爸妈妈告别……
这些对于他们来说，都是比较困难的事。
可一旦发现幼儿园有新鲜好玩的事，孩子们便不再害怕了。

在孩子入园时，我们关注更多的往往是孩子的情绪，其实家长同样也会有焦虑与不舍，但是大部分时候这种情绪都被掩饰起来。在这本The Night Before Kindergarten绘本中，作者将大人在面对分别时的这种情绪直接呈现在孩子面前，让孩子能更好地了解家长内心真实的感受与情绪。
It was the night before kindergarten,
and as they prepared,
kids were excited,
and a little bit scared.

It’s the first day of school! Join the kids as they prepare for kindergarten, packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and the hardest part of all-saying goodbye to Mom and Dad. But maybe it won’t be so hard once they discover just how much fun kindergarten really is! Colorful illustrations illuminate this uplifting takeoff on the classic Clement C. Moore Christmas poem.
