Toby's sister and baby brother love their schools - they smell of
paint and rainbows. Toby doesn't think he likes his new school at
all - it smells of ogres and he's lonely.
He looks and looks for friends but he can't find any anywhere. He finds
an alien, a mermaid, a dinosaur expert and a pirate, but no friends!
When his mum comes to pick him up he tells her the sad news - but if he
didn't make any friends then who is in the playground waving at him?
Rebecca Elliott's charming first experiences books, featuring her son
Toby encountering new situations, help children deal with new and
unfamiliar circumstances. In Mr Super Poopy Pants, Toby got used to the
idea of having a new baby brother; in Missing Jack he had to come to
terms with the death of his pet cat. Now Rebecca is showing that going
to school isn't quite as scary as you might think, using her unique
sense of humour and style to create a warm and comforting picture book,
which is quirky and funny at the same time.
