Praise for Ready, Set, Big School 'What sets this particular book apart is its keen focus on articulating the emotional landscape of starting big school, providing young readers with a reassuring anchor. I wholeheartedly recommend this read to families preparing for the big school journey and to anyone who cherishes the Play School program's timeless charm.' -- Anna Tran, CBCA Reading Time 'Familiar characters, making friends and the challenge of starting school looms large in Maurice's thoughts. He not only makes it through the day, but he has lots of fun and things to learn ... This is an enjoyable introduction to Big School.' -- Susanne Gervay, CBCA Reading Time 'As many young readers are about to take this big step themselves, this is another story to share to show them that not only will they be okay but the apprehension they are feeling is common to everyone so they are not alone.
