The First Slodge, by Jeanne Willis

4.0

This is a sweet book about the importance of sharing with others and friendship. It teaches this through a humorous story about a 'slodge' creature learning that they are not the only one in the world. This could also link to current issues about protecting the planet as we all have a duty to look after it. Children will enjoy the fun illustrations and could create their own 'Slodge' stories about learning another important life lesson.
