Book Analysis
Sign in to see how this book fits your child and family preferences.
Sign in for personalised guidanceHow the book presents it: The repeated instruction and Thuli’s final action clearly affirm putting the tissue in a bin.
Talk about: What could someone do if a tissue blew away before they could put it in the bin?
The changing expressions and sound effects give the chase a lively, comic feel. The repeated reminder about the bin makes tidying up the story’s clear practical point.
Thuli looks frustrated when the tissue keeps escaping, and the chase includes a goat shaking it loose. The expressions and action are playful; the goat is not shown hurting her.
What do you think Thuli is feeling at different points in the chase, and what in her face or body helps you tell?
Pause at each change of direction and invite your child to predict where the tissue might go next. At the end, talk about where used tissues belong at home.
