About this collection
Explore together
Children see Carlos choose his torn box over a brand-new bed; they learn to read an animal's feelings from what it does, think about why an old, loved object matters, and discover fixing instead of throwing away.
In the colouring pages, children colour Carlos in his box boat and Deniz and Mum fixing the box, and explain why Carlos loves his box. In seek-and-find, they search the rainy living room and the room where the new bed arrives.
Talk together
1) Why did Carlos go to his old box instead of the new bed? 2) Do you have something you love that you'd never give up, even when it's old? Together: Choose a slightly worn toy or book at home. Try to fix it together (tape, glue, a scrap of fabric). While you work, tell each other your favourite memory with it.
