A collection of five stories from THE GINORMOUS SERIES, following a loving family of pets as they share their life-handling problems and how to solve them together. Gently encouraging conversation between adult and child. A great addition to any child’s home or teacher’s read-aloud library.

The animals chat about; good deeds, bullying, being accepted, feeling lonely, self-esteem, worrying, anxiety, getting lost, recycling, welcoming new members to a family or classroom, that listening and learning can be fun, and how to care for others.

These collectables will warm young hearts, open their eyes to new ideas, help them understand they’re not alone, and enable parents to open a dialogue about some of life’s toughest issues in an age appropriate way with ease. A wonderful addition to any child’s home or teacher’s read-aloud library.
