You're in the Juniors Now

Twelve short stories, one for each month, chronicle the events of a class of Year 3 children, Foxy and his friends. At first they long to be back in the safe security of their last infant class, but it isn't long before they begin to take delight in the things their new teacher has to offer. The author accurately and sensitively recounts the feelings most children have when moving from infant to junior school; however, the class is obviously a multi-ethnic one - indeed Foxy's best friend is Imran - yet none of the events described seems to take account of this. A pity, it would stop me using it with my seven-year-olds.
