It’s Mouse’s first day of school. It’s Dinosaur’s first day of school. They don’t want to go! What if no-one likes them? School looks so scary. But when lessons start, there’s a very big surprise . . .

With vibrant illustrations from award-winning illustrator Brian Fitzgerald, this comforting story with an unexpected twist is the perfect book to help children know what to expect on their first day of school. Fans of The Colour Monster Goes to School and Dash Dinosaur is Starting School will love I Don’t Want to Go to School.

Both Mouse and Dinosaur are heading to school for the first time. They are both nervous and don’t want to go.

Will it be scary? Will they make friends? They have lots of worries. But they soon learn they are not alone and school isn’t as bad as they thought it would be.

I Don’t Want to go to School! is a young children’s picture book that would be perfect for little ones who are starting school soon.

The illustrations are bright, colourful, and full-page. The text is kept to a minimum and Mouse’s words are repeated throughout by Dinosaur which will help readers who are learning to read.

It is a short book that will only take a few minutes to get through but hopefully will put little ones at ease about starting school.
