Don't Want to Go!, Paperback/Shirley Hughes

Mum is ill and Dad has to go to work, so Lily will have to go to Melanie's house for the day. Dad says she'll have lots of fun, but there's a problem: Lily doesn't want to go. Join Lily as she braves Melanie's house and realises that doing new things needn't be scary after all. Once again, Shirley Hughes gets to the heart of childhood worries and the artwork is full of expression and telling detail.
