Develop children's understanding of size and height by introducing a project based on the captivating story Tall by Jez Alborough (Walker Books). It stars Bobo the chimp, the lovable character from the award-winning Hug.
Bobo is a little chimp and everyone seems to be taller than him. So, he climbs atop a lizard, a lion cub, an elephant and even a giraffe in his attempt to be the allest. Then he slips... but his mummy is there to catch him as he falls, making Bobo realise that he is happy being small, after all.
The story features just two names (Bobo, Mummy) and three other words (small, tall, fall), but combined with the charming illustrations, they convey important messages about love and being happy with who we are.
