Media Reviews
A gentle story which deals sensitively with an experience common to many young children ... This book should be made available to all children about to start nursery Child Education The wide ethnic range of parents and children depicted should ensure that all children should find some characters in the book to closely identify with Books for Keeps It's a book which should provoke thought in parents about how children feel when we are late, but at the same time it is reassuring for children. It would be a perfect book to share with children just starting nursery. Parents in Touch
