Excerpt
Anticipating the end of the story, the bubbly kindergartners begin fidgeting, anxious to be excused and get ready for the bus. Hearing the teacher's command, they spring from their personalized mats and scurry towards the coat rack which is visibly crowded with jackets, hats, boots, and bags. Pushing their way through the rest of the kids to get to their own items, they neglect to notice the coats and hats they have knocked down along the way. By the time each of the kindergartners reaches the hook that holds his or her items, another child has already torpedoed through, dumping more coats carelessly to the floor. But this state of bedlam does not last long, because as soon as the kids have found their belongings, they spread out around the room and begin to dress themselves in various ways. Though once a class of kindergartners, they have now become the Speedy, Tidy and Poky Dressers, preparing themselves for the bus ride home.
