This is a lovely book, very colourful, full of detail and withplenty to prompt an inquisitive 3 year old when she listens to itat bed time. The layout is easy on the eye with the text keptseparate from the pictures. The pages themselves are a mix of fullpage paintings and smaller pictures which can be 3 to apage.

I won't go over the story again but it is charming and will berelevant to all kids who are going to school or nursery, whetherfor the first time or not.
