Going to Playschool - Tapa dura

Great fun and ideal for reading aloud.

What a lovely book for a child just starting play group.

A lovely insight into a child's world, with simple text and gentle illustrations.

Uses detailed illustrations, but very few words, to show just what this strange new place will be like - walking in, having your own peg, playing games both indoors and outside,painting, storytime, drinking juice together and getting ready to go home. There's even a class pet!

‘Sarah Garland's children and her depiction of family life have always appealed to me for their down-to-earth depiction of everyday life, with which we can all readily identify. The detailed pictures are so lively and full of activity that they really draw the reader in and the minimal text is the ideal complement.’

 ‘Charming read. . . full of details that had me imagining mini stories about the other characters. The style of illustration is realistic, and the story is a great depiction of . . . spending a day at playschool.’

‘These books are absolutely lovely. They should do very well for the really young person who might be about to go and do one of these things.’

Frances Lincoln are delighted to reissue Sarah Garland's classic picture books featuring a warm and very down-to-earth family as they go about their daily life. This book follows the family as they play games, pour sand, roll pastry, get dressed up and play with the rabbit. Mum, daughter, baby and dog are always rushing around, getting things done and having lots of fun.
