Summary from Egmont
There was once a little penguin who was FRIGHTENED of the water.
"This is no way for PENGUINS to behave,' said his father.
"Be gentle," said his mother, "for ALL of us have fears that others may find hard to understand... Come, Little Penguin. Come into the WATER with me".
And so begins a story about BRAVERY and TRUST - a joyous little treasure for the whole family to share.
World of Happy... because life is FUN!
Life isn't easy. There are so many things which are frightening, which other people do without thinking twice. I could understand the Little Penguin's fears - they are ones I'd have if I was him. His mother points out the happier side of the water, focusing on the positive which always outweigh the negative. It's hard to be brave on our own, but with someone supporting us, just as the Little Penguin had his mother, we can take those scary first steps and be successful.
What I like about all the books is that at the front it says what the book is about, and then gives space for the reader to write about the theme of the book. I'll give the example for each book
'A story about being brave. My name is ............... and I did something really brave when..........'

There were two monkeys who grew up TOGETHER. One was a prince, and one his servant boy.
But, as the Prince grew older, the Queen decided that he should keep more PRINCELY company.
"I love you MORE," the lady said right back.
And soon the Prince FORGOT his first and TRUEST friend.
And so begins a story about TRUE FRIENDSHIP - a joyous little treasure for the whole family to share.

They say love makes the world go round - so does friendship! Without friends, well, life is a very dark place, as the Prince finds out when the Queen gives a command which makes his so called friends disappear. True friends will always be there for each other, even if they get ignored for a while or treated badly.

Summary from Egmont
There was once an elephant who was most TERRIFIED of spiders.
If she even came NEAR a spider, she would shriek and HOP in a most UNBECOMING manner.
"This will not DO," said the ELEPHANT one day. So she took a JOURNEY into HERSELF.
And so begins a story about COURAGE and HOPE – a joyous little treasure for the whole family to share.

Fears. All of us fear something. Some of us fear more things than others (my list is rather long!). It can be a fear of a creature, an object, or an event/circumstance. To others the fear may seem irrational, but to the person it is a huge deal. Fears can't always be conquered, but when they are faced there's a wonderful sense of achievement.
A story about Overcoming Your Fears. My name is .............and hard things I am proud of doing are...........
Come back in two weeks time, when on 23rd March I'll be reviewing Planet of the Bears, Cow Party & The Knitting Gorilla!
