It's a big day for Little Owl. His first day at school. Little Owl doesn't want a big day though. He'd rather stay at home and have fun with Mummy and Baby Owl.
But at school he gets to build a rocket, learn to fly and even make a tiny new friend. Maybe big days spent with friends can be lots of fun after all!
From the bestselling creators of Little Owl's Egg comes another gentle and comforting story about the lovable Little Owl. Perfect for any little one starting nursery or school.
Starting nursery is a big step, so most children will feel nervous at first. This charming book explains what the day will look like, from saying goodbye to parents to meeting other children and learning new things. It shows children what exciting activities might be on offer, like dressing up in fabulous outfits or playing outdoors on tricycles.
With simple-to-read text and delightful full-colour illustrations by Mel Four, Time to Go to Nursery helps children feel confident about going to nursery and reminds them that someone will always be there to help if they're unsure.
From leading Early Years expert Penny Tassoni MBE, Time To... picture books use simple words and colourful illustrations to help young children understand all-important everyday skills. Featuring practical advice and tips for practitioners, carers and parents, these books will help you explore positive behaviour with children in a fun and friendly way.
In this delightful story, by the same author who wrote When Grandma
Gives You a Lemon Tree, a boy is disappointed with his
grandfather's gift--until he learns he can use it to build exactly
what he wanted with his own two hands, and a little help from
grandpa, of course! You asked for a special house for your dolls;
but instead Grandpa gives you a toolbox! What do you do? Launching
it into outer space is a bad idea. So is feeding it to a T. rex!
Instead, be patient, pay attention, and you might find that you're
pretty handy. And just maybe, with grandpa's help, you'll get that
dollhouse after all. This clever story celebrates kindness, hard
work, and community, as well as variety in gender expression: the
male main character proudly engages in activities that might be
considered typically girl (playing with dolls) and typically boy
(building with tools).
Little Owl doesn’t want to have a bath. He wants to finish building his moon rocket. He wants to stomp around in his dinosaur suit. Besides, bathtimes are boring – aren’t they? But what if this bathtime involves a giant invisible penguin, a bunch of slurping towelly-gators and a trip to Bubble Mountain? It looks like Little Owl is about to have the best bathtime EVER! From the creators of Little Owl's Egg, Little Owl's First Day and Little Owl's Bedtime comes another gloriously reassuring and imaginative story for little ones.
