Bird arrives with a long to-do list and many activities, while Pincho is content to take life slowly and enjoy being still.
When Bird’s plan goes awry, Pincho is described as quick enough to save the day during an escape from danger.
A giant snake and an escape from danger are mentioned, alongside a plan going awry. Consider whether the peril feels comic or unsettling for your child, and pause to explain unfamiliar idioms.
