The Black and White Club (Picture Books) - Softcover

The Heavenly Hippo Wildlife park is a paradise for all kinds of animals big and small, cuddly and cute. George the Giraffe lives in harmony with his fellow animals until one day, a group of penguins set up a new and rather exclusive club. Gathering together for fun and games, George wonders what he's missing out on and decides to try and sneak in. But a beautifully patterned giraffe does stick out like a sore thumb amongst the penguins, the lemurs and the zebras - so poor George is left out. George and some of the other animals come up with a plan. If they can't join the Black and White Club, they'll do their own thing...! We discussed why the other animals rallied round and how having fun without excluding anyone was so much better than setting up boundaries and limits. --Read it, Daddy! blog
