Don't Want to Go!

Don't Want to Go!

A resistant Lily discovers that new experiences donâ€™t need to be scary in this engaging, deftly told story certain to resonate with young children.

One morning, Lilyâ€™s mom wakes up with a sore throat and achy head and needs to stay in bed. But Lilyâ€™s dad needs to go to work. Who will look after Lily? When Dad arranges for her to spend the day at Melanieâ€™s house, Lily is none too happy. "Donâ€™t want to go!" she says. Even though Melanie has a friendly dog named Ringo and a funny baby named Sam, Lily is shy and wants to sit under the table with her toy Bobbo. But maybe a chance to make silly collages, or feed Sam lunch, or hold Ringoâ€™s leash might make her feel braverâ€”and maybe sheâ€™ll start having so much fun she wonâ€™t want to leave at the end of the day! With illustrations that keenly convey emotion through the subtlest gesture, Shirley Hughes mines a familiar situation for its most genuine moments and creates a truly reassuring story for young children.
