Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten?

Your buffalo is growing up.

He plays with friends. He shares his toys. He's smart! But is he ready for kindergarten? (And is kindergarten ready for him?)

Starting something new can feel tricky, especially when your buffalo is the only student with horns, a mane, and a hump. There is a whole classroom routine to discover.

Craft scissors can feel awkward at first, and recess means adjusting to the playground's No Grazing rule. (Can those heavy hooves make a masterpiece at finger painting?) Fortunately, taking turns is a very big deal, and he remembers to breathe instead of using his horns.

(Who wouldn't want a warm, cuddly classmate at story time?) With a mighty buffalo smile, this gentle friend shows that everyone is special in their own way. Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten? is a hilarious look at first-day-of-school jitters from author Audrey Vernick and illustrator Daniel Jennewein.
