Nursery (First Time)

A good choice of book to set a child's expectations of what happens at a nursery or playgroup. For children already attending, the simple conversational text and lively illustrations may encourage them to talk about their experiences there.

Nursery (First Time)

Author:
Illustrator: Jess Stockham
Publisher: Child's Play (International) Ltd

The book depicts some typical scenes from a day at nursery: getting ready, arriving at the building, hanging up coats, playing creatively, singing and dancing, eating a healthy lunch, story time and outdoor play. The children in the illustrations look happy and positive, and are shown playing cooperatively.

Worth noting:

The book features a mixed race family, a child wearing an eye-patch and a child in a wheelchair joining in with outdoor activities.
