Adventures of Tusky and His Friends Book One A Jungle Adventure

"The Tusky stories will definitely make a significant contribution to teachers, parents, and children. It is something that is needed and I am looking forward to the series."--Joseph L. Schilling, Ph.D. Maryland State Superintendent of Schools. A Jungle Adventure introduces the Tusky "Snuggle Up" series of educational picture story books. Tusky and his friend Packy are playing ball when Aristotle, Tusky's parrot, catches and carries their ball to a part of the jungle they are not allowed to enter without their parents. Packy gets angry at Aristotle and calls him insulting names. As Packy prepares to retrieve the ball and disobey his parents by going into the dangerous part of the jungle, they hear and meet Hooty, a "professorial" owl. From things they say, Hooty realizes that they are negative thinkers. Hooty explains negative and positive thinking, the dangers of negative labels, why we should think smart, show sensitivity to others and not disobey parents. Aristotle finally returns the ball saying that his feelings have been hurt. Packy learns how to apologize. Tusky and Packy are excited about their new friend, Hooty. Hooty says, "Any day we make a new friend is an important day." Thought provoking questions have been developed for each chapter.Greenberg, Kenneth R. is the author of 'Adventures of Tusky and His Friends Book One A Jungle Adventure' with ISBN 9781879100008 and ISBN 1879100002.
