Books to prepare LO for preschool/school...ideas??

CountryMile

I need help getting together books for DS to help prepare him for preschool.  DS has a few issues and separating from me is a big one.  DS will be three in a couple of weeks and will be starting preschool.  I found an awesome book called Meet Me At The Moon. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/meet-me-at-the-moon-gianna-marino/1103634946 Kissing hands is the other book I found. If you have an ideas on books that help with separation of talk about preschool/school that would be awesome.  Thanks!

DS really liked Oh My Baby Little One (https://www.amazon.com/Oh-My-Baby-Little-One/dp/0152060316/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332437092&sr=1-1). It talks about how the mother and boy will be apart from each otherf or the day but their love will always be there.  Very sweet.

Others we read to help learn about preschool were Maisy Goes to Preschool and D.W. Goes to Preschool.  DS really liked reading those because they talk about what kids do at preschool all day.

I am a preschool teacher and like to read "DW's Guide to Preschool" to the kids.

I also read my girls Llama Llama Misses Mamma. I checked the book out of the library in August last year and read it to the whole month to prepare them for starting school in September. It helped a lot with the transition to starting school.

My DS also has a hard time separating and I am feeling the need to prep him for possibly going to PreK in the fall.

We have the Llama book and we love it, but it kinda gets DS nervous too, when the llama is sad.  

Thanks for the ideas moms!

Yes, thank you everyone! I ordered and picked up books from the library that seem really helpful so far.

VTbride05- The one good thing about a book like Llama talking about little Llama feeling sad is it helps LOs understand what they are feeling.  It also helps them later to help explain/express what they are feeling.  So I think books that express what they are feeling is a good thing.  Good luck with preschool! DS is going in a couple of weeks and has a terrible time separating too.
