Summary
It’s Lenny’s first day at playschool and he’s a bit nervous. Mum takes him there, and he meets a little girl called Lucy, who looks after him. Lenny and Lucy sing a song, do some drawing, ride the tricycles and play with a ball. Then, after a drink of juice it’s time for a story. When it’s time to go home Lenny wants to stay a bit longer to play with his new friend. And he can’t wait to come back tomorrow.
