Throwback to last Saturday (27 Oct) when we had our Halloween interactive storytelling cum craft session! We read 《小不点和三个丑八怪》together, and then parents and kids were kept busy decorating their very own Halloween capes & sling bags! Special thanks to Maha Yu Yi 友谊书斋 for hosting us, and for the incredibly fun and enriching Trick or Treat learning trail!

WHY WE LOVE IT
  • Created by Caldecott medalist (most prestigious American children's book award) Ed Emberley, which means QUALITY GUARANTEED!
  • Ingenious book to help children overcome their fear of monsters. Different diecut and boldly coloured pages reveal new parts of the monster with each turn, until all of the big, green monster takes shape. Then, with the words "You don't scare me!", the monster slowly disappears, page by page. The book eventually concludes with "And don't come back! Until I say so."
  • Simple yet entertaining story, a joy to read aloud, and helps young readers master fear and emotion through play and imagination. 

Check out our Halloween story pack, which contains 2 hand-picked books, and a wealth of complementary online and offline resources that allows for learning to take place even after reading the book!
