By Nadine Brun-Cosme and Aurélie Guillerey (Macmillan Children’s Books)

Once at nursery, Matty starts to fret about how her father will collect her if the troublesome family car won’t start. Dad soon puts Matty’s fears to rest with a series of increasingly imaginative suggestions for alternative modes of transport – from a tractor to a dragon, a polar bear to a rowing boat.
