The beauty of this book, enables meaningful comprehensive together about the relevance of these life skills and life values that are used in everyday life.

Once the children complete the story, they are encouraged to engage in a valuable comprehensive discussion about the life skills and life values raised in the story.  This will be followed by the bonus of re-writing or drawing the adventure in their own style.  The beauty of the book is the division of two section, so that questions are generated by age group for Under 5s and Over 5s (Nursery school age children to Year 3).
