Starting school is a big adventure. Is your little star ready? He or she will have all sorts of questions. Where will I sit? What will I eat for lunch? Will I make friends? This warm, funny and, above all, reassuring book explores these questions and many more besides. Its positive message will help children look forward to and enjoy their adventures at school.

Featuring funny illustrations by the wonderful Arthur Robins, Starting School explores a variety of scenarios in different school settings. This book is ideal to dip into with children during the run up to the big day and while they are still settling in at school. There are also tips for parents and carers on preparing children for starting school.
