Sid the Madeiran Wall Lizard - Softcover

Meet Sid. Sid is a little lizard who lives on the beautiful island of Madeira, where the sun shines very hot. Too hot sadly - because poor Sid has a problem with keeping his feet cool. With the help of his friends Steph and Bert, and a very special, very tiny mouse named Pete - not forgetting the frog friends too! - Sid tries to solve the problem, finally keeping his feet cool in a very unusual way. The book has layers of lessons beneath the charming story, encouraging young readers to learn about wildlife and their habitat, as well as teaching morals like being kind to others and taking responsibility for your actions. At the same time, children will be drawn to the illustrations, which provide the colour and shape that trigger a child's imagination, as well as including a little game of spotting Pete the mouse who looks after everyone. Engaging and entertaining, Sid the Madeiran Wall Lizard is a story young readers aged up to 7 years old will want to pick up time and time again!
