I'm Starting Nursery
The Big Steps series is designed to help little ones (and their parents) cope with everyday experiences. In I'm Starting Nursery, Ben is sad when Daddy drops him off for his first day . . . but not for long! He soon makes friends and in no time at all, Daddy is back.
Watch Ben and his friends play with trucks, paint pictures, dress up and listen to a story in this fun-filled novelty book with flaps and mechanisms. Each page has really helpful tips for parents and carers that are endorsed by The Good Play Guide and leading Early Years Consultant, Dr Amanda Gummer. With delightful illustrations from Marion Cocklico, I'm Starting Nursery is the perfect book to share and to reassure every little person starting nursery.
The Big Steps series has been endorsed and recommended by Dr Amanda Gummer's Good Toy Guide.
