Pascaline (a bat) DOES NOT WANT to go to school. It doesn't matter who else is going! She knows exactly what she doesn't want. 'Never, Not Ever!', she shrieks loudly on the first day. So loudly, in fact, that something amazing happens - and it changes everything.

Charming and laugh-out-loud funny, this irresistible first-day of school saga is sure to be a repeat read.

A laugh-out-loud tribute to little kids everywhere who would prefer not to leave home on the first day of school
