5-8 Infant/Junior
Daniel dreams his way through life in general and school in particular but discovers, with the help of Sherbert, the class mouse, that concentrating brings its own rewards. The wickedly apt line drawings which enhance the text also support the reader. Humour accompanied by predictable home truths, in a very palatable format, make this book ideal for early read-alone efforts.
