"Sophia and Alex Prepare for Kindergarten" is one of eleven volumes in the "Sophia and Alex" series, written by Author Denise Bourgeois-Vance and illustrated by Artist Damon Danielson. This book is intended to provide a review of preschool prior to a child attending their first day of kindergarten. Sophia and Alex look back over their graduation from preschool and prepare themselves for a new adventure in learning. Fun games are implemented to review concepts of math, reading, and writing so as to lessen any anxiety associated with attending a new school.

The 32-page illustrated book informs parents of the levels of competence their child should obtain as they enter kindergarten. Both parent and child learn fun activities that can be applied at home while reviewing such things as counting, color identification, reciting the alphabet, and good behavior in the classroom. A child that is socially, emotionally, and academically ready for kindergarten is destined to thrive in their new environment.

Each book in the "Sophia and Alex" series draws on storylines based on common events found in the life of an early learner. Children relate to the multi-cultural characters and learn the art of acceptance and inclusion in school and home settings. Studies prove that bilingual children are more apt to excel in writing and reading in subsequent grades when given the tools at an early age.

At the time of this printing, over two dozen languages have been added to the series by the Children Bilingual Books' pool of translators. Parents and grandparents alike cherish the opportunity to connect with their child through reading in their native tongue.

Why is reading important to your child? Reading sparks imagination, stimulates cognitive development, boosts social skills, and increases communication proficiencies. At Children Bilingual Books, we endeavor to connect children of all ethnicities, races, cultures, and languages with the wondrous world that surrounds them. The Sophia and Alex series provides a pathway to a child's understanding of language and social interaction. Moreover, they're fun to read!
