Nel and the Fling! A Story about Responsibility, by Julie le Cornu (Brok Pty Ltd, 2019, $19.95 Australian, 30 pp HB) First in a series
Flings are adorable. Doesn't everyone want one? So, when Nel manages to catch one, she is elated until she finds out how much work it is to care for another being. Nel also finds out that not all animals or flings like living in captivity. Some shrink.
Quandry
Nel dearly loves her fling but, ah, the work involved and no matter what she does to help give her fling a happy, comfortable life, Nel just doesn't succeed. What to do is a lesson in responsibility. When Nel frees her fling, she also frees herself!
Reminiscent of This is The House that Jack Built, Nel & the Fling! will be a fun book for your child to learn as it repeats each paragraph.
Other books in the series include The Groobs and The Lady of Rara-Jou.
