The UK’s largest children’s reading charity has created a list of the 10 best books for children starting or returning to school this September.
The books chosen deal with a variety of issues children might face at a new school, including making friends, treating others with kindness and learning to share. One also features a main character with autism.
Emily Drabble, head of books at BookTrust said, ‘Summer is a great time to read books with your little one and our list will help to reassure and excite them about starting or going back to school. We know that children who don’t have access to books and stories in the early years start school a year behind their peers, a gap that only widens as they get older.
