Animal School is a series of four books at Purple Band 8 of the Start Reading programme.

All Duncan will eat is custard - cold custard from a tin, slurped up through a stripy straw. Dad gets cross and tells him not to be a baby. Mum is too busy fussing over Duncan's new baby sister, Angela, to even notice. That is, until Duncan packs his bag ad runs away... Swifts is a new series that introduces children to longer stories. Each illustrated title tells an exciting tale which is divided into short chapters. Very new readers might tackle a chapter at a time, while more independent readers would be happy to read a complete story in one sitting.
