What is Bobbo Goes to School about?

Lily is on her way to the shops when she tosses her beloved stuffed toy, Bobbo, high into the air. But Bobbo does not come back down. Instead, he lands on the roof of a passing school bus and is carried off to school. While Lily worries that she has lost him for ever, Bobbo has an unexpected adventure, meeting pupils and exploring the classroom. Will Lily and Bobbo be reunited, and what will Bobbo discover about school along the way?
