SuitabookPincho: Nothing IS Possible
Ben Sanders
- Reading
- Read it aloud slowly enough to inspect the illustrations and let the jokes land. Afterwards, choose one idiom to unpack and compare a satisfying pause with an overfilled day.
- Themes
- Rest and busyness: Bird arrives with a long to-do list and many activities, while Pincho is content to take life slowly and enjoy being still. The contrast invites reflection on whether busyness is necessary for enjoyment and whether calm can be valuable without becoming inactivity.
- Responding in a crisis: When Bird’s plan goes awry, Pincho is described as quick enough to save the day during an escape from danger. The situation may support discussion of how different temperaments can become useful when circumstances change unexpectedly.
- Worth knowing
- 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.
