How do you teach a life lesson to a toddler? In Lenny's Big Climb, leave the teaching to the story-in which a young boy learns valuable life lessons from a host of adorable creatures he meets as he climbs up an oak tree.
Toddlers and young children are sponges; they soak up all there is to know about life! And as adults, we all know there is a lot to know about life!
Enter Lenny's Big Climb, a delightful storybook with vibrant illustrations that demonstrates some of the most important lessons in life-taught in a fun way by eight unique creatures!
- From a squirrel, Lenny learns about making friends.
- From a bluebird, Lenny learns about having special qualities and values.
- From a raccoon, Lenny learns about solving problems.
- From a lizard, Lenny learns about being adaptable.
- From an owl, Lenny learns about being organized.
- From a possum, Lenny learns about being in the right place to use his talents.
- From a caterpillar, Lenny learns about positive change.
- From a bee, Lenny learns about teamwork.
Lenny's Big Climb is a great addition to the bookshelves of young children and early teens. Without getting into overwhelming detail or advice, the story combines helpful lessons, reflective questions, and a unique voice for an enjoyable read.
The book brightly illustrates the theme that children can learn lessons from the Tree of Life as they grow. The higher they climb (the older they get), the more knowledge they achieve.
