Bobbo Goes to School is sure to be another classic from the talented author Shirley Hughes. The naughty character made me instantly think of another mischievous person, mentioning no names but looking at my daughter who is currently styling her hair with cheese spread.

This funny story is about a little girl called Lily who finds that actions can have disastrous consequences, when she flings her toy, Bobbo, high into the air. Instead of coming back down, Bobbo lands on a school bus and is on his way to school without Lily.

Amatullah enjoyed this story and babbled away beside me, telling me her own version of the story afterwards. The pictures were beautifully detailed and colourful.

Sharing this book with Amatullah, I can see why Shirley Hughes is a well loved author. This is another book suited to children starting school soon, and families have another Lily story to look forward to.
