Preparing your child to start school can be an exciting but daunting task. Our Get Ready for School book bags are just one of the ways we can support you in preparing for this new adventure.

Our Get Ready for School book bag is designed for families with children about to start school. It contains handy information cards and three reassuring stories about the school day:

• Starting School by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
• Going to School by Rose Blake
• Never Take a Bear to School by Mark Sperring & Britta Teckentrup

Any member of Suffolk Libraries can borrow a Get Ready for School book bag for free through our catalogue. You can get a library card by registering online or by visiting any of our libraries across Suffolk.

You can find more books to prepare children for school on our starting school or nursery collection.
