Funny Bunch:Lily Goes to Nursery(HB - Tapa dura

It's Lily's first day at nursery and she is feeling rather unsure about everything. She's daunted by playing, worried about painting and not too keen on reading either! But, with her friends' encouragement, Lily soon learns to join in and by the end of the day, she finds something she really enjoys! By the end of the day, Lily has forgotten her anxieties and is having a wonderful time! Lift the big flaps to see what Lily is learning! Created by the talented Lydia Monks, this poignant story explores the concerns of children as they approach the important milestone of going to nursery for the first time. With bright, quirky illustrations and four endearing animal characters, the Funny Bunch stories deal with toddler issues, such as anxiety, sharing, and learning consideration for others. Younger toddlers will love lifting the flaps, and preschoolers will enjoy the wacky humour. The Funny Bunch are sure to captivate children and parents alike!
