I Have to Start at School Today

A riotously funny, but ultimately reassuring look at one child’s far-fetched imaginings about starting school, from the writer of award-winning You Must Bring a Hat and Be More Bernard. I have to start at school today. “You’ll have such fun!” my parents say. I know they think I’ll be okay, But what if things don’t go my way? Starting at a new school is BIG deal at the best of times, so what if you also had to deal with a cross rhinoceros, a selfish bear taking up your chair and a weird baboon with a loud bassoon? Luckily, Grandma is on hand to reassure that there’s no need for fright because what if it just all goes…right? Simon Philip’s spirited rhyme is perfectly paired with bright, bold, fabulously expressive illustrations from Ged Adamson, creator of Shark Dog.
