What your kindergardner needs to know
I really apreciated a text that had all the different subject ares for my little four year old son in one book. We read and discuss history, culture, music and we have done some of the science experiments. He loves the stories. We were in Germany this summer and had a chance to visit Bremen where we were introduce to the local foke tale " The Bremen street musicians" I purchased the book in german and my friend transulated it for us. This story was in the "What your kindergardner needs to know" book. I was impressed. I will definately purchase the nxt level.

Great and Interesting
My children are 3 years and 20 months. This book has provided numerous, fun, learning opportunities for them. My redheaded 3 year old had a fun time when we discussed the section about Thomas Jefferson. She was thrilled to learn that he loved books (just as she does) and that he also had red hair just like her. The format of this book is great. It is divided into subjects that make it very easy for a parent to use with their children. Even though my children are young, they are still gleaning knowledge from this book when I use it in conjunction with "What Your Preschooler Needs To Know". I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book ( mariam_johnson2002 )
I purchased this book so I can understand (in general) what my 4 year old needs to knows before Kindergarden. He currently goes to preschool but like most little kids he is hungry to learn more. I have been extremely happy with the book and its content. I agree with others that some of the stories are graphic and deal with death but it is my understanding that between year 4-6 kids are developing difference between good and evil. There are times that I pre read stories and edit them in mind prior to reading them to him. Overall excellent book and well worth every penny.
