Scared? Nervous? Excited? Terrified?

 

Butterflies in My Stomach and Other School Hazards  by Serge Bloch

A lovely little book to keep or  to give to one of the special people in your life starting on a new adventure.  Simple ink drawings  accompany the great idioms on each page.  “he’d have to talk to the principal because she was the big cheese’ is written beside a simple  drawing of the principal dressed in Swiss cheese.  Perfect for teaching such an abstract concept to young children.

Uni Bound? Students’ Stories of Transition from School to University

What an awesome book for those moving into University life.  15 young New Zealanders share their experiences as they look back at their transition from school to  tertiary study. 

The students offer fantastic down to earth  advice and have some great hints to help you get through your individual journey.  The stories are humorous and honest and provide a glimpse at the reality behind all the shiny brochures and television advertisements.

 

A wonderful, long overdue book
