Owl and Billy

Billy is a week too young to start school on the first day of term and the wait is a boring prospect until the arrival of the 'Spaceman' to live in his street. The book contains seven episodes leading up to Billy's first day at school, told in a simple straightforward way most appropriate for reading aloud to those of around Billy's age (four to five) rather than for older solo readers who may well find Billy's adventures and the manner of telling, too young to hold their interest.
