Starting school is an exciting time for little ones, but can also be a little daunting too. With a little preparation and encouragement, most children will settle in easily at school, ready to learn and discover.

We have a range of recommended books covering lots of school readiness topics such as learning colours, shapes, alphabet and numbers, as well as making friends, getting dressed, and practising good behaviour. All free to borrow with your library card!
