About this title

Review:

Spot may be a little shy when he starts his first day of school, but by the end of the day he's on a roll! This pudgy brown-spotted pup and his new friends, Clare the turtle, Tom the alligator, Helen the hippo, and Steve the monkey, share in show-and-tell, spell words with blocks, sing, and paint pictures. Spot's verdict on school? "Great!" Preschoolers and new scholars will love to lift the flaps in this small square board book to see just what kind of fun Spot is having. Available for the first time in an interactive lift-the-flap format, this charming little book will reassure nervous first-time students as they see that school is a place of friends, learning, and fun. Fans of Eric Hill's many other Spot titles (Good Night, Spot, Spot Goes to the Farm, and tons more) will welcome this new edition of an old favorite. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter

About the Author:

Eric Hill was born in North London in 1927 and, apart from a brief period of evacuation, lived there for many years. His career as an artist began when he was employed as a messenger in an art studio and was encouraged to draw. Eric's son was born in 1976 and he began to write stories about a puppy to read to him at bedtime, and so Spot was born. The family moved to California in 1983 but Eric continues to visit the UK several times a year and is very involved in developing Spot projects.
