Experience a day in kindergarten in the USA and China.
Readers spend a school day with two kindergarten classes in this flip-me-over book. First visit a class from Schenectady, New York, and then meet a class from Beijing, China, as children learn and play with their teachers and classmates. Clocks throughout the book show the time in the USA and in China, noting that when it's daytime on one side of the world, it's nighttime on the other.
Includes notes about the Chinese language, pinyin (a system for pronouncing Chinese words), and telling time.
Trish Marx has written many nonfiction books, including EVERGLADES FOREVER: RESTORING AMERICA'S GREAT WETLAND (Lee & Low Books) and JEANETTE RANKING: FIRST LADY OF CONGRESS (Margaret K. McElderry). Trish lives in New York City. Ellen B. Senisi is the author and photographer of children's photo-essay books including HURRAY FOR PRE-K! (HarperCollins) and ALL KINDS OF FRIENDS, EVEN GREEN! (Woodbine House). She lives in Schenectady, New York.
