The Dancing Class

A little girl is taken to her first dance class. Her mum buys her some ballet shoes and a pair of baggy tights, and ties her hair into a bun. The girl bounces about with all the other girls and boys and just as things get exciting, her shoelaces come undone and everyone falls down. A warm and funny depiction of a girl's first experience of a dance class and her delight in galloping about with her classmates.

Playschool

A little girl is not looking forward to her first day at nursery school until she makes friends with another new girl.

The Visitor

A business visitor who is allergic to the cat, and a little girl who doesn't want to wait patiently spell disaster in this gently humorous story

Helen Oxenbury's First Storybooks perfectly describe the small but memorable events of childhood. The words are a delight and are perfect for reading aloud, while the pictures offer warm, affectionate visions of a child's world, which parents and children will instantly recognize and love.
