Dog has always dreamed of visiting the sea, but he runs a laundry in the middle of a city and the ocean is too far away - impossible to visit. When Crab arrives in a box of laundry detergent and is determined to return home, no matter how impossible the journey, Dog takes the plunge and goes with him. An amazing road trip filled with fun and friendship follows. Dog soon learns that something is only impossible if you say it is.
Impossible! is a great book for encouraging children to follow their dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem. Venturing out into the unknown is easier with friends and a strong sense of determination, and sometimes changing your own attitude is the most important step towards achieving what you want.
We really enjoyed The One-Stop Story Shop, so I was sure we would love this picture book too. The story is lovely and encouraging. So many schools now promote determination and resilience in their school values and this story would be a great way to explore those to younger children.
The art work is also bright, busy and very sweet. It really added to our enjoyment of the story. This is a picture book I can see us returning to again and again.
Thank you Little Tiger Books for sending us a copy to review.
Impossible! Is written by Tracey Corderoy and illustrated by Tony Neal
