SuitabookDaredevil Morgan
Bill Slavin
- Reading
- Read together before or after a fairground visit, and pause at Morgan’s decision to talk about what makes a challenge feel manageable. The book is described as having illustrations on every double-page spread.
- Themes
- Frustration and response: Morgan gets angry when Aldeen drops and smashes his hoped-for prize pumpkin, and challenges her to a bumper-car war. The outline establishes his angry response but does not show whether the story criticises, excuses or resolves it.
- Courage and a dare: Aldeen counters Morgan’s challenge with a dare to ride the Asteroid Belt, a big-kid rollercoaster. The dare sets up a question about bravery; the outline does not establish whether taking it is praised or how Morgan responds.
- Worth knowing
- Morgan gets angry and challenges Aldeen to a bumper-car war after the pumpkin breaks. A dare to ride a big rollercoaster is also part of the story; how frightening the ride feels is unclear.
