'Delve into a delightful collection featuring Ginnie Giraffe & Pinney 'Potamus, and all their animal friends.
'With enchanting stories featuring a cute cast of characters, including Tao Tiger, Lulu Kangaroo and Miranda Panda, this collection takes little listeners through a variety of familiar scenarios, such as sports day, sleepovers and games of hide-and-seek. In line with the Early Years Learning Framework, these stories encourage young people to think about their impact on each other and the world around them. Their daily social interactions, concerns and decisions pose dilemmas that model positive self-identity and behaviour: selflessness, persistence, sharing, inclusiveness, responsibility, accepting difference and learning to say sorry.
'At the end of the audiobook, there is a helpful section of conversation starter questions to encourage emotional intelligence and dialogue between children and their parents or carers.' (Publication summary)
