Original Book on Book Dash: Lebo and Gogo’s Tea Party (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at the imagined outings and notice how the pictures show Gogo’s concerns. Then invite your child to compare those scenes with the final tea party and discuss what changed.
- Themes
- Changing plans and sharing time: Gogo cannot join the outings Lebo suggests while recovering from an ankle injury; Lebo comes up with a tea party they can enjoy at home. Their shared activity is presented warmly, as a way to enjoy one another’s company despite changed plans.
- Worth knowing
- Gogo trips over a rock, cries out and hurts her ankle; she later returns from a doctor with crutches and a special boot. The injury is part of the story, without graphic detail.
