Emily Peppermint’s Toy School

Heaven in a picture book from Jeanne Willis. Imagine being a teacher in a school for toys. This author brought us Who’s in the Loo? and the Dr Xargle series, among other funny favourites. Now she’s back with a dream idea: a school where toys learn how to behave. They need to fall out of prams, wear silly hats and be exactly the right amount of soft and floppy. Why? Because one day they’ll belong to a child. And children play in the weirdest ways… Sweet and awesomely funny: a tongue-in-cheek look at being a child.
