This book is beautiful, The message and the illustrations. Going to nursery/Preschool or school is a big step for small humans (children) This book really talks through what to expect from a first school day, but also reassuring that they are not and won’t be alone. It was a joy to read. My child (not going yet) but he did really enjoy the story and got quite excited about the possibility of going to school. I can honestly say, its a joy to read and lovely to read as a night time story.

As always a beautiful story with stunning illustrations

Here we see Ollie start the biggest adventure of all starting school, understandably she is a little nervous lucky her woodland animal friends are here to help. Ollie gets a sneak peak at school life, where she sees what you learn and what fun it is by visiting the woodland animal school before starting at her own school, the sneak leak changes her nerves to excitement.


The illustrations in the book are very pretty and cute, there is a lot going on and lots to capture little ones eyes, I have found this is case for all the Ollie books.

This book is ideal for any kitties about to start school, the language used is perfect for their age group, the story is simple bur gets the message across this added with the rich stunning illustrations makes it a perfect the night before school bedtime story
