Francesca is not looking forward to her new school. She is feeling so cross about going that she climbs out of bed on the wrong side. Then follows a horrid day - a nightmare, in fact. Her new teacher is a gorilla, there are no books or lessons - or toilets - and for dinner the children are given snakes, snails and spiders! Back in her own bed, Francesca wakes again and carefully gets up on the right side. After her nightmare, the day that follows is happily normal - with chicken, chips and peas for dinner. Bright, clear illustrations.
