The Story of Ivan's First Day
A boy named Boris is given the important job of helping Ivan. Boris needs to look after Ivan and translate everything for him. The school, called St Edmund's, is usually a very calm and polite place.
However, Ivan is not quite so calm or polite! Boris quickly realizes that teaching Ivan how to behave in a "civilized" school will be a big challenge. The story follows their adventures and the funny situations that happen because of Ivan's wild ways.
