Description
The peaceful but quiet life of a goldfish is shattered when it is propelled into a new environment by a cat. But, does this mean great changes? Yes, and no! Is the cat really a hero or a villain?
This is a tale of fear, joy, wonder and hopefully, moving on. The conclusion is a delightful call to abandon mediocrity and boredom, to break free and LIVE! A story of encouragement for children to be active, inquisitive and joyful.
There is also a wonderful double back page full of ideas for bored children! All are based around home or close to home, most are free, and all are fun, quirky and applicable for pre schoolers and beyond. I mean when was the last time you and your youngest stalked a bird?
This book as a shared bedtime story, a planner for a new day’s activities or just for fun as a rhyming text to introduce children to the wonderful rhythms of language in a classroom setting , you will love it all.
Petre Foote –
“I would describe my 5 year old granddaughter Charlotte as a confident reader who has always loved books and being read to. Nowadays she picks up all kinds of books and makes a great effort to read the words.
She loved “Breaking Free” especially the ending finding the goldfish in the park lake. She would have liked the boy and cat to have names. She thought it was a bit scary when the fish bowl broke but thought the illustrations of the park were very pretty.
This was a very easy book for her to read and I have seen her read it to her 3 year old sister.” Petra Foote
