First Class
Illustrated by Sue Porter
The combination of Rose Impey and Sue Porter has produced some excellent books, Joe's Cafe and A Letter to Father Christmas for a start. This is no exception. Six very short, funny stories about the children in Mrs Candy's infant class are written with affection and an ear for the truth, illustrated with charm and realism and printed in a large format with clear print and colour. Year 2 children, old enough to look back on their first day, will especially enjoy this (but I have to say I think teachers and parents will find this even funnier than the children will; almost every page has a joke for those who live and work with small children.)
