I Don't Want To!

An ideal book for nervous first-timers at nursery, playgroup or school... or, come to that, for old-stagers looking back with superiority or sympathy at their first days. Young James doesn't want to go; once there, he doesn't want to stay. Sitting all alone watching isn't much fun, however, and he finally joins in all the lovely things that long-suffering Miss Jones has ready for him. In the end, of course, he doesn't want to go home. Nicely observed paintings of children and a simple, straight-forward story will make this popular in Early Years classrooms.
