Suitable for:
This book is the ideal choice if you want to read with your child a story about managing anger and differences between friends. It is excellent for children who may be quieter and more shy, as it highlights the value of our voice and the need to use it when necessary, even if that means making a "fuss".
Why This Book Is Special:
- Lessons of Friendship: Through the simple story, children learn that there are differences in friendship, but the most important things are cooperation and love.
- Creators' Guarantee: The story comes to life thanks to the recognizable, humorous, and highly expressive illustrations of Axel Scheffler (illustrator of the global phenomenon "The Gruffalo").
- Emotional Development: Provides an opportunity to discuss how we feel when someone bothers us or threatens something we love, and how we express those feelings.
Suggestions for use by parents or educators:
-
Fostering Empathy: Use the story as a starting point to talk about how Tik feels when his snail gets scared, helping the child understand the feelings of his friend.
-
Conflict Management: The book can be a tool to discuss that even the best of friends can get angry, but there is always a way to make up.
With the book you can:
- Discuss: "How did Tik feel when he scared his snail?" and "How did they realize that in the end they had to make noise?"
- Ask the child: "Who is your quietest friend and who is the noisiest?" and "Is there something you love so much that you would make noise to protect it?"
- Play/Create/Imitate: Make a snail out of playdough or paper. Imitate the sound of Tela's noisy toys and then the sound of the greedy bird, emphasizing the difference between the sounds.
