What is Going to school about?

Polly and Percy Peach are getting ready for their first day at school. They meet their teacher, explore the classroom and discover plenty to enjoy, from painting and music to making new friends in the playground. Polly feels shy at first, but with Mum nearby she soon begins to settle in. As the day unfolds, the twins learn that school can be a safe, friendly and exciting place. Gentle details and a hidden yellow duck invite children to look, talk and share their own experiences.
