From the Publisher
A great children's book for those who homeschool, those thinking about homeschooling, or those who like entertaining children's books. The characters are lovable and easy-to-identify-with and the illustrations are very endearing. Sure to be any child's "read-it-to-me-again" bedtime book.

Customer Reviews

good book, super religious
Definately a Christian-oriented book, super religious, but if that is for you, this was a nice, gentle introduction to homeschooling andlearning about things that interest the child. Nice pictures

A truly wonderful way to introduce or reinforce the homeschooling concept to your young child...
My boys gain immeasurably from books that explore/relate to different aspects of their lives. So, I searched for a book written for the young child that demonstrates the concept of homeschooling in a fun and relaxed way. I was absolutely THRILLED when I came across this book. Although Kandoo Kangaroo Hops into Homeschool was the only PreK-3 book that I could find, it was absolutely perfect. We adhere to a very relaxed, eclectic approach and this book reinforced that philosophy with grace and subtly. My boys love this book and find reassurance that homeschooling is a very natural and acceptable way to learn. They still enjoy reading it and mimick the little lessons in the book during play. I highly recommend this book and mention it to every new homeschooling family I meet. BTW, there is another book written for homeschooled children titled I AM A HOMESCHOOLER. It's a non-fiction book that offers a glimpse into the life of one homeschool family.

A Starting School Book for Homeschoolers!
I was so delighted to find a book about a character who is about to begin school at home rather than going off to school! And this book has wonderfully fun sound effects ("BOING!" and "CREAK,") which add to the read-aloud experience. Also, the book captured the essence of homeschooling wonderfully - that it is a fun, low-stress way to learn. I hope that this author writes more children's books with homeschooled characters.
