Eventually, six of the neighborhood children, despite the differences in age, gender and backgrounds, form a special friendship as they discover they share similar interests.

My students thoroughly enjoyed using this resource. As we listened to the book they were able to colour the drawings and then when the listening was complete they were able to answer the questions. A great resource, thank you. Ruth L.
