Lulu's First Day (2019)

Lulu has already visited her preschool, chosen her outfit and packed her cuddly cat, Dinah, so she knows what to expect and cannot wait. Her mom stays for a while to help her settle, then Lulu picks her own activities and ends up reading in the special reading tent. Anna McQuinn and Rosalind Beardshaw's Lulu books follow a little girl who loves books, and this one models the settling-in visit many preschools and nurseries offer. It is the calmest book here, with only a flicker of worry when her mom leaves, which suits a child who is more excited than nervous.
