Illustrated by Sarah Pooley
Please let us have more books about Oliver, Batwoman Jo (especially Batwoman Jo!). Errol and the rest of the Nursery School gang. A simple story set in an attractive nursery school, it's ideal for any child entering this stage. The characterisation is delightful and the insight we're given of everyday nursery school life stimulates interesting discussion. The use of speech bubbles strongly reinforces the concept of print bearing a message - every child listening wants to know, and at once, what their favourite character is saying.
