SuitabookSomeday, Narwhal
Lisa Mantchev
- Reading
- Read together and let the child linger over the contrast between Tiny Narwhal’s fishbowl view and the places she imagines. Invite them to predict what she might notice on an adventure.
- Themes
- Curiosity and exploring beyond the familiar: Tiny Narwhal dreams of the world beyond her fishbowl but lacks feet and does not know the street names. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Friendship and encouragement: Her boy, his friends and several animal companions help Tiny Narwhal feel brave enough to set off. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Tiny Narwhal is unsure about going outside and wonders whether it will be cold. If a child is hesitant about unfamiliar experiences, you could pause to see how the story handles that uncertainty.
