"Hilarious twist on a familiar nursery rhyme with a positive, affirmative message"
Longlisted for the UKLA Book Award 2023 ages 3-6
Rehearsals are under way for the big production of Hey Diddle Diddle, but poor Cow has the collywobbles and does not believe she could possibly jump over the moon and indeed there are spectacular failures! Rikin Parekh’s witty and lively illustrations will have young readers rolling in the aisles.
He captures expressions of frustration, irritation, fear and embarrassment so perfectly. But this is not a story played just for laughs, it has a lovely message. Cow needs the support and encouragement of the troupe to give her the bravery to carry on trying. We will all be rooting for her too and the joy of succeeding at last will be felt by all.
It is perhaps one of the most important life lessons for any child to learn. That it is OK to fail because life is a learning curve, but you should not be discouraged from trying again.
A model example to use to discuss resilience and how we learn, but a genuinely heart-warming and funny story too.
Yes, you can, Cow! We believe in you! READY . . . STEADY . . . GO . . . It's the Nursery Rhyme's big performance, but Cow is having second thoughts. She's too scared to jump! What if she crashes? Will everyone laugh?
