Description

Toby's sister and baby brother love their schools - they smell of paint and rainbows. Toby doesn't think he likes his new school at all - it smells of ogres and he's lonely. He looks and looks for friends but he can't find any anywhere. He finds an alien, a mermaid, a dinosaur expert and a pirate, but no friends! When his mum comes to pick him up he tells her the sad news - but if he didn't make any friends then who is in the playground waving at him..? Rebecca Elliott's charming Toby books help children deal with new and unfamiliar circumstances. In Mr Super Poopy Pants, Toby got used to the idea of having a new baby brother; in Missing Jack he had to come to terms with the death of his pet cat. Now Rebecca is showing that going to school isn't quite as scary as you might think, using her unique sense of humour and style to create a warm and comforting picture book, which is quirky and funny at the same time.

My 4 year old granddaughter and I have read this book together this afternoon and she 'very much enjoyed it. She will be starting school in September so I am sure we will be coming back to it again to encourage talking about her feeling relating to this very exciting but scary time for her. I think the publication date is well timed and I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to parents of new starters. Many thanks for this ARC.

What an adorable little book! I loved the imaginative illustrations. Beginning the first year of school can be quite intimidating, especially when the child has no idea of what to expect. I would recommend this book for all parents with pre-school children as well as placed in kindergarden bookshelves.
