Celebrate every moment with the Night Before series by Natasha Wing! It's the night before preschool, and a little boy named Billy is so nervous he can't fall asleep. The friends he makes the next day at school give him a reason not to sleep the next night, either: he's too excited about going back! It's the first day of school! Join the kids as they prepare for kindergarten, packing school supplies, posing for pictures, and the hardest part of all—saying good-bye to Mom and Dad. But it won't be hard once they discover how fun kindergarten is! Get ready for a major milestone: kindergarten graduation! Of course, there's a lot of preparation the night before as kids prepare for the momentous occasion. It's the night before the Big Day—first grade. Penny is excited to start the year with her best friend right beside her in the same classroom. It's the night before a young boy's first day of second grade, and he's excited. He's spent all summer reading and preparing for the year ahead, and he can't wait to learn more about what fun surprises second grade has to offer.

The illustrator included lots of heart-shaped drawings. Can you find them all?

Natasha Wing was born in Connecticut and now lives in Colorado. After graduating from Arizona State University, she worked in advertising for a number of years. It wasn't until 1991 that she decided to write children's books. Luckily she sold her first book within six months and has been writing children's books and articles ever since. Some of her books have even ended up on bestseller lists, including the wildly popular The Night Before series.

"I'm curious about many things - people, holidays, underdogs, little known historic figures - and translate my excitement for a topic into books for kids to enjoy. Story ideas are popping into my head all the time, so you never know what my next book will be. But that's what's so fun about writing."

5.0 out of 5 stars Story builds anticipation, darling illustrations!

I love to help my daughter anticipate upcoming special events. The "Night Before" series books are perfect for this! Out of all of the ones that I own, I think the Valentine edition is my favorite because of the illustrations. They are so cute and the details are so sweet... my almost-4yo daughter LOVES it! Just look at the cover... the sweethearts say, "Hold Me," "Read Me," "Buy Me." The snowman on the first page is a cupid. In the library scene, there is a copy of this book in the background. The list goes on. Definitely a sweet book to enjoy with your special Valentine!

My daughter (almost 5 now) and I love these books! They are not too long, not too short, and super fun! We have almost all of them, she loves to read them all the time especially the 'Night Before' whatever holiday or event the book is about. We started originally with the Night Before Preschool  The Night Before Preschool  August (2016) to help ease her into preschool a bit, we bought 10 other titles from this series since then and plan to expand the collection as time goes on.

This book arrived in good time but I cannot remember the date. The packaging was OK. The take off theme from The Night Before Christmas sounded like a good idea. The reviews for it were good saying it was fun for children to read or have read to them. I know the author has written many other books on this theme. I gave it to our church bookstore. I do not know if anybody purchased it for their child or relative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another terrific "Night Before" Story in this Series
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2013
Verified Purchase
We have many of the other "Night Before..." books and love, love, love them. While the exact rhyme and rhythm might not be the same as Clement Moore's original for Christmas, it all seems to show up, somehow. The illustrations are vivid and the book an overall quick read -- to an excited child anticipating the next day's Event.

Colorful (and creative) handmade valentines and a goofy principal's getup, with a surprise classroom gift, make this a fabulous story.

You cannot go wrong for the $5-bucks. It's even better, and more lasting, than the $5-bucks on chocolate/candy you give out the next day. I'd almost guarantee your kids/grandkids will enjoy and/or ask for this book....next year.
