What the testers said: “Great books to read in the summer term as children have started visits to their ‘big’ schools. We felt that the books covered the nervous/worried feelings perfectly, and helped
our children express their worries about transition. Well priced too.”
Description: These are enormous fold out books packed with stories, puzzles, games and jokes! Children will enjoy getting busy with lots of puzzles and games, and then playing with their own toys on the giant pull-out play mat, before settling down to read an exciting story.
