Today's the day, it's the first day of school. It's a little bit scary, but it could be cool. In WE LOVE SCHOOL, seven adorable puppies are having their first day at school. From art time, to lunch, to storytime, this book covers all the parts of a typical school day, to help teach kids what to expect at school. Lucie Billingley's puppies are both endearing and realistic. For more information about Lucie visit her website (http://www.lucie.com.au).
Beyond the starting school message, this is a fun and enjoyable read, with illustrations that support the fun and energy of the story. Puppies of all shapes and sizes are part of the class, and there are loads of bright colours including the text which has highlighted words. This could be a great story for older children in the family to read to younger siblings, helping prepare them in a positive way for starting school. I loved this book because the puppies are so full of energy, and because I could easily visualise the havoc puppies would wreck if they really were in a classroom - especially if they were sharing the classroom with children! - Randomactsofreviewing.blogspot.com
