• "It’s a book you will read over and over, again. "

    Finally, we have a confidence-building book to share with our very young children who are about to enter Transitional Kindergarten. “Hooray for TK!” has authentic characters, an engaging plot, and wonderful lessons to be learned. Being a mother and a teacher, I especially LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that this brilliant story is set to rhyme. A spectacular bonus of “Hooray for TK!” is the artwork. While the color and vibrancy of the illustrations capture the eye, the subtle addition of animals, nature, inanimate objects, and a friendly pencil on every page, makes the whole experience and absolute blast! “Hooray for TK!” can’t help but facilitate entertaining and insightful discussions with your children! It’s a book you will read over and over, again.

  • "Perfect "heads up" tool."

    “Hooray for TK! is the perfect “heads up” tool to prepare young students for the fun that awaits in the school setting. This book addresses several expectations including meeting friends and faculty, appropriate classroom behavior and kindness, and even the joys of snack and lunch! This really helps students feel safe before stepping into what will be the first classroom experience for most. Both of my sons participated in an invaluable TK experience which set them up for success in kindergarten and beyond. We are beyond grateful for this book.”

  • "Clever storytelling and engaging, interactive illustrations"

    The Hooray for TK series written by Cindy Brancato Pacino and illustrated by Zuzana Vass delights young readers with clever storytelling and engaging, interactive illustrations that warm the heart and employ their senses. The rhythmic meter playfully engages readers to tune their ears to rhyming words. Students will immediately hone in on their fun friend, Mr. Pencil, who joins Ashley and Alex on their adventures throughout tthe Hooray for TK series. Students will want to read the books repeatedly to find new details missed. Ms. Amber guides her students at Meadows Elementary School through the day learning letters and numbers, investigating their new world through play, movement, and music, and most importantly treating each other’s hearts with kindness, care, and love.

    Young students love to see themselves reflected in the literature they read. TK has now found a lovely resource to greet them at the beginning of the year and help close off the year positively. The Halloween alphabet book introduces festive holiday vocabulary to students while getting them excited for the fun of the fall season.

    The Hooray for TK books are a MUST-HAVE for all TK teachers’ collections. Ashley and Alex show TK students that anything is possible when you work together at school!

  • "Amazing resource for us as our TK student was preparing to transition to kindergarten"

    “Hooray for TK! It’s Our Last Day! was such an amazing resource for us as our TK student was preparing to transition to kindergarten. Like most youngsters, he was very attached to his first teacher (TK) and this book helped him anticipate the excitement of advancing to the next grade. It reviews a full day of getting ready for school, preparing for new learning experiences and even how to interact with faculty and friends on campus. The illustrations are vibrant and have learning Easter eggs throughout. We love these books!”

  • "Very fun and beneficial to student learning!"

    “I have really enjoyed sharing this series of books with my students. The playful connection with literature to activities in class, and the connection with the ABCs has been very fun and beneficial to student learning!”
