Description
Monster and Boy: Monster's First Day of School brings Monster and Boy back for another adventure! This time, the best friends are headed somewhere no monster has ventured before: school!
Ever since Monster (who sleeps under the bed) and Boy (who sleeps in the bed) met and became best friends, they've been spending their days playing together. But on some days, Boy leaves and Monster is alone. Wanting to learn more about where his friend goes, Monster makes a plan to go with Boy to school!
There, Monster meets Boy's teacher and classmates, learns about cubbies and the sharing circle, and even helps solve a mystery when a pet hedgehog goes missing.
Told with a warm, cosy voice, Hannah Barnaby's story is brought to life with adorable two-colour illustrations by Anoosha Syed. Filled with adventure and humour, Monster and Boy: Monster's First Day of School is a perfect chapter book for sharing with children just ageing out of picture books and for newly independent readers.
