Fuzzypeg Goes to School

Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting prospect of their first day at school or a new daycare. It is an ideal choice for the child who is feeling a mix of nervous energy and quiet curiosity about leaving home for the first time. Through the eyes of Fuzzypeg, a small hedgehog entering the world of the Little Grey Rabbit series, this story explores the bridge between the safety of the family burrow and the exciting, communal world of the classroom. Set in a charming, old-fashioned woodland community, the story follows Fuzzypeg as he encounters the wonders and minor mishaps of a school day. Its gentle pacing and Alison Uttley's classic prose provide a soothing rhythm that normalizes the 'butterflies' children feel. By using animal characters to mirror human social experiences, the book offers a safe distance for children to process their own anxieties about making friends and following new rules while being reassured that school is a place of discovery and warmth.
