Alison McGhee zeroes in on the id of childhood in Countdown to Kindergarten. With uncanny insight into the heart and soul of what it means to be a child, McGhee has created a heroine terrified of kindergarten because it will reveal her as incapable of tying her own shoes. Readers will empathize deeply and sigh with relief at the happy ending in this funny and charming book, the first of a series to be illustrated by New Yorker artist Harry Bliss.
