TEAMWORK

FOLLOW THE LEADER (Harriet Howe, Ariel Landy)

It’s a scorching day and Bear, Monkey and Armadillo are off to the lake. But who will lead the way? The tallest? The oldest? The loudest?

When Monkey suggests a trip to cool off at the lake, he announces that he is the leader. After all, he is the loudest and he does have the map. However, after a few hilarious mishaps and a map-tearing disaster, the three friends realise that adventures go a little more smoothly when they work as a team. 

Ariel Landy’s expressive illustrations perfectly complement Harriet Howe’s playful and energetic text, making this a perfect book for young readers who are learning the tricky business of teamwork.
