Baby at the Nursery
Pauline Martin
A new title in Pauline Martin’s series of board books presenting toddlers as actors of their own awakening and development.
In this fourth book, Baby goes to the nursery. Dad walks him there and the daycare provider welcomes him: Baby is ready to join the group. His familiar world now goes beyond his home: here, Baby has his own locker and a coat rack just for him! At the nursery, he learns to become a sociable child, to live with other children and adults, to overcome small anxieties and to discover life pleasures: with his friends, he shares games, food, moments of quiet and activities that help him grow up.
A whole day at the nursery, following rituals and activities well-known by the little ones.
