The first Story in this Brand New Series penned by Kerrigan
will capture your imagination right from the start.
Description
A delightful series based on Caro a Talking Carrot.
The character is instantly endearing. The storyline is informative
and educational with a conscious emphasis on children’s health
and well-being while simultaneously capturing the imagination of
the child and bringing light-hearted entertainment to even the
adult reader.
In a time and age when story's and games are largely based on
violence and with incentives offered for the consumption of
junk food, Caro The Talking Carrot brings a refreshing change.
Furthermore with today’s strong awareness directed at body
image and the perception that to be beautiful you have to be
slim, which sadly results in young ones succumbing to peer
pressure even to the extent of starving their way to acceptance,
this series makes a subtle difference.
Caro The Talking Carrot reveals from the opening lines that being
too skinny is not a good thing. It distracts from the common cliché
and establishes that the main character does not have to be slim
and tall or even good looking.
If children are encouraged to adapt to the character and
hopefully fall in love with Caro, it will at the very least,
inspire them to take pleasure in their Vegetables.
We as adults can teach them, albeit at an early age, the
importance of healthy eating and dismiss the misconception
that being slim is essentially all that matters.
Help them establish a sensible balance while recognising the
importance that being underweight is as harmful as being
overweight; and consequently prepare them for adolescence
and the impressionable years leading up to it, when if faced
with body image issues and peer pressure, they will be more
equipped and more informed with how to deal with it.
Belief’s and guidance instilled at a young age bear a stronger
influence in latter years than we probably deem possible,
even in the far recesses of a child’s memory.
Kerrigan says, "I still remember the childhood stories either
self-read or read out to me, more fondly, and perhaps more
vividly, than the novels absorbed since."
Each book is written with humour aforethought and some
interesting and enlightening facts which even grown-ups
might find fascinating. Depending on age, either the child
can do the reading themselves or you can read it out to them.
Bear in mind, despite the deep and meaningful concept,
this series on Caro The Talking Carrot is predominantly
intended for the imaginative and cheerful amusement of a
child - any consequent achievements are a bonus.
