This month, we’re introducing you to a character that likes things to be just right … kind of like us sometimes! Mr Panda has carefully designed his own life just the way he likes it and making a decision is never hard for him; everything is right or wrong. Easy peasy.
When a friend gives him a gift to take home, he struggles to know what to do with it – it doesn’t fit into his home the way that he would like it to. Everywhere he tries to put it doesn’t seem quite right.
Picky Panda is a story about inviting new ideas into your life, changing your perspective and delighting in the wonderful things that sometimes make life more complicated.
Extra things to think and do:
- Mr. Panda has spent all his life making sure decisions are easy for him to make – do you find it easy to make decisions?
- Why do you think Mr Panda spent so long trying to find a place for the flowerpot?
- If you met Mr Panda for the first time on the last page, how would you describe him? How is that different to what he’s like on the first page?
- Have you tried something new this week – a new food, a new t-shirt, or did you make a new friend? How did you feel after trying something new?
- How many coloured flowers can you count in the story?
