Clive has a very fine array of bags- and he knows how to use them! He has his book bag, of course. But then, there is also his fully equipped nurse's bag, his brilliantly pink snacked-up picnic bag and his art bag with the clever pencil pocket. 'Really good simple language and pictures. Challenges gender serotypes gently but clearly' (Meryl, EY Consultant, LL reviewer). 'Way to go Clive! What a fun book!' (Rosalind, Workforce Dev. Officer, LL reviewer). Part of a series about a refreshingly non-stereotyped boy and his diverse band of friends (Asif, Mina and Jeffrey). Wonderfully childlike illustrations by Spanyol, mixing up collage with pen. Clear, accessible text introducing lots of first words and prompting the odd chortle...or two! Age 1-3, Boardbook 12pp
