Going to Playschool

`Sarah Garland's children and her depiction of family life have always appealed to me for their down-to-earth depiction of everyday life, with which we can all readily identify. The detailed pictures are so lively and full of activity that they really draw the reader in and the minimal text is the ideal complement.'

`Charming read. . . full of details that had me imagining mini stories about the other characters. The style of illustration is realistic, and the story is a great depiction of . . . spending a day at playschool.'

`These books are absolutely lovely. They should do very well for the really young person who might be about to go and do one of these things.'
