Countdown to Kindergarten

Everyone who enters kindergarten is supposed to be able to tie their shoes. At least that's what the little girl in this story has heard. Now there are just ten days left before school starts, and she still doesn't know how. She tries and tries every day, but nothing works! The first picture book by Minnesota author Alison McGhee, and illustrated by Harry Bliss, this is a charming story for every pre-kindergarten child facing scary thoughts about school. It won the Minnesota Book Award in 2003.
