About the series: Pitsibouinoi
The "Pitsimpouini" series by Eftychia Giannaki is the favorite "detective" series for preschool children. Through stories such as "Something Smells at Pitsos" or "Pirate Pits-Radio", young readers develop their observation skills and learn to solve mysteries together with the coolest gang of penguins.
Suggestions for use by parents or educators:
Read the story with different voice tones to convey the intensity of the "explosion" and the mystery of the quest.
Use the book as an opportunity to talk about what scares us and how we can face it together.
With the book you can:
Discuss: What is a volcano? Have you ever felt the earth shake? How did the Pitsimpouinoi feel when they approached the mountain?
Ask the child: "If you were there, what would you take with you for the exploration?", "Do you think the Pitsimpouinoi were brave?"
Play/Create: Make your own "volcano" out of playdough or papier-mâché and "explore" it with your own heroes!
