A reassuring story which will help children navigate the first day at nursery. Lulu is shown preparing for the big day: there is excitement as she decides what to wear but also a hint of anxiety as she packs 'extra clothes ...just in case' in her new bag. The day itself brings the security of mummy staying for a while and then the busyness and fun of activities and play. Rosalind Beardshaw's illustrations provide a perfect accompaniment to the text; brightly coloured and soft focused, filled with warmth and familiarity for young readers.
