Paul en Vlekkie (Paperback)

Paul en Vlekkie (Paperback)

There’s a lovely bit of complexity here. Paul isn't choosing between something obviously good and bad. Doing the right thing means potentially giving up something he loves. It gives children a very relatable way to explore honesty, responsibility and considering someone else's feelings alongside their own.

This is a Roost Approved recommendation. The Resource Roost does not sell this item and pricing and availability may vary. Last seen priced around R139.
Helpful when

Your child is learning about honesty, returning things that don't belong to them, making difficult choices or coping with having to give something back.
