OSKAR AND NANUK IBD

Sinopse

Award winning designer and illustrator Justin Plunkett has created a charming story, told in rhyme about overcoming fear with friendship, curiosity and kindness.Nanuk, the loveliest llama on Cria Hill, preens and pampers herself in the shade of the pink lollipop tree. She may be a very lovely llama, but she longs for something more. On one windy day, clouds of purple and grey roll and rumble across the big sky. There&rsquo,s a change in the air, a frizz in Nanuk&rsquo,s hair and for a moment she doesn&rsquo,t know why. When a dark storm arrives, Nanuk flees the hills to the jungle and gets lost. She rests against a tree with leaves like huge hands to hold away the falling water. And sleeps. She awakens to the frightening sight of a beast with long, clawed arms. It&rsquo,s Oskar, a surprisingly sweet but slightly smelly sloth who hangs above her, in the tallest tree for miles. His marvellous view is filled with rainbows and promise. But something scary keeps him from chasing adventure -áa rather unsettling earthworm experience. Together, Oskar and Nanuk embark on a journey to find home, but they discover so much more. Join this peculiar pair, llama and sloth, on their quest to return Nanuk to her lollipop tree. See them face and overcome their fears with curiosity, courage and kindness.á Here are a few solid reasons to buy this book: It',s a blast to read,áit&rsquo,s a journey of rhyme and rhythm, &ldquo,The rain pitter patters. The rain clicks and clatters.&rdquo, It has a solid story with delightful characters who really develop. The illustrations are charming and colourful. It is sometimes silly and will make your kids laugh out loud. It is sometimes a little &lsquo,gross&rsquo,. Scared llamas do spit after all. Perhaps best of all - you will look into the panicked eyes of a sloth who realises he needs the toilet when he&rsquo,s a loooong way from the ground. Fun fact: sloths climb down to the ground to go to the toilet, and some go as infrequently as every three weeks!á It&rsquo,s a great gift for kids - and enthusiasts of sloths and llamas of course. Happy reading.
