LET’S TALK ABOUT… BEING YOURSELF!

THE EAGLE AND THE WREN • From his perch high on a cliff, the golden eagle stared out across the ocean. It was a cold winter’s day and the sky was clear.

MY ZEN FRIEND • Kim packed carefully for his journey. His rucksack was filled with everything he could possibly need - including a packed lunch and water to stay hydrated. He had snack bars in his pockets, as well as a pair of woolly gloves.

THE STONEMASON’S SONS • Once upon a time, on the banks of the River Nile, there lived a pharaoh who was the richest man in the world. He had incredible wealth, but it did not make him happy.

THE GIRL WHO GREW • On the first of April in 1940, a baby girl was born in the little village of Ihithe in Kenya.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT…

HOW MOLO STOLE THE RED ROSE • Early one morning, Tsui left his home and walked through the streets of Beijing. When the young nobleman got to the gate of the great imperial palace, he spoke to the guards outside.

Molo skilfully led them through the darkened palace.

THE EMPEROR’S OLD CLOTHES • The emperor’s birthday was coming up, and he was celebrating with a big party!

WHY DOGS SNIFF EACH OTHER • Dogs don’t know how to write, but they don’t need to. When they want to leave a message for their friends, they just pee on something! Other dogs can ’read’ peemessages by sniffing them with their sensitive noses…

OUR SENSE OF SMELL • Find out about a special sense that lets us know if things are stinky or fresh!

THE SAGA OF ILYA MUROMETS • At the edge of a great forest stood a tiny wooden cottage. It was the home of a husband and wife who farmed the rocky, root-filled soil.

STORYTIME PLAYBOX • Search for a pharaoh’s missing gold, find Molo’s shadow, make a quick-change fashion doll and GO ON A SMELL JOURNEY!
