There are also CBeebies programmes about starting childcare, which you can watch together and talk about. Four friends are asked to dress up from someone from the past and create something to do with their respective character. The girl in the story keeps thinking of all sorts of wild (and funny) things that could happen when she starts school – from the rhino who'll block the school gate to the bear who'll take her chair – and it takes her sweet, wise granny to reassure her and suggest that the rhino and the bear might actually turn out to be quite nice. You can help them by practising key skills in the run-up to their first day, such as putting on their shoes or starting toilet training. That continues as the boy becomes a man, and takes everything from the tree until there’s nothing left.As the first day at primary school or nursery gets closer, these are the books to read with your child – to set the scene, describe the routine and reassure that it's all going to be fine – even fun. The little girl in this book has a best friend - he's The Colour Monster and he doesn't know what's going to happen - will there be animals, clouds and rainbows and is it in a spooky castle? For more books about starting school or nursery see our Starting school or nursery booklist on Words for Life. Written by an experienced educational consultant and featuring engaging illustrations by artist Chris Dickason. The characters Charlie and Lola feature in a television show on CBeebies after the popularity of their books.

We also love the map-like bird's-eye-vew of the school on the inside covers: a really good way to show your child all the different rooms there might be at their school – and what they're all for. In the early days they won’t even know the names of most children and helpers so it will take some time for quality information to emerge. Why we love it: This book has more than 100 stickers to stick in the right places as it follows an average school day, from getting dressed and packing your bag to choosing lunch, painting a picture, having story time – and going home time.Throughout the tale, Mouse realises that all animals face fear, and even though he’s small he has the ‘heart of a lion’.
