Spot Goes to School

Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting transition to preschool or kindergarten and expresses nerves about leaving home. It is a gentle tool for easing separation anxiety by showing that school is a place of play, creativity, and new friendships rather than just a place of rules and work. Through the eyes of the beloved puppy Spot, the story explores the curiosity and minor worries that come with a first day. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, the narrative uses interactive lift-the-flap elements to keep little hands busy while their minds process the social landscape of a classroom. By modeling positive interactions with teachers and peers, it helps children visualize themselves in a similar environment. Parents will appreciate how it validates the initial hesitation of 'staying behind' while ultimately celebrating the joy of independence and the fun of a shared community.
