Off to School
Our New Baby
Get Well Soon
These titles are brilliant value for money with carefully chosen, top quality readers and stories which will help very young children through what can be traumatic times. The stories are some vintage ones like My Naughty Little Sister and Teddy Robinson, but are mostly more recent like Bel Mooney's But You Promised It Wouldn't Hurt from 1990, where an injection does hurt, or Martin Waddell's Rosie's Babies, where Rosie's make-believe babies help her to accept the new baby. Nigel Anthony, Stephen Thorne and Maggie McCarthy are the three main distinguished and sympathetic storytellers. All publishing details are helpfully given on the inlay cards.
