Pim is a baby aardvark, with a long, furry nose. He has
tiny little claws instead of fingers and toes, and sleeps
in a cosy burrow. But he isn't sure what being an Aardvark
really means. He asks his mother all sorts of questions, and
she decides it is time he found out what being an aardvark
is all about...
The
Aardvark Who Wasn't Sure
is a heart-warming story from best selling author Jill Tomlinson,
whose books have been hugely popular for nearly thirty years.
This
is the latest tale to be released on CD and, as with The
Gorilla Who Wanted to Grow Up and The
Penguin Who Wanted to Find Out, it is read
by Maureen Lipman.
Told in clear, simple language, this release is ideal for
young listeners, who can identify with the baby animals and
their attempts to find out who they are. The Aardvark Who
Wasn't Sure is bound to appeal to any child who loves
animals, or who is curious about the world around them, as
they follow Pim the baby aardvark on his journey.
In
his quest to discover the world around him, Pim meets lots
of exotic and interesting animals. There are snakes, cheetahs,
elephants and monkeys, and they all have something to teach
him. He's
disappointed that aardvarks can't climb trees, but as he learns
how to find termites, fight predators and build a burrow of
his own, Pim realises there are some advantages to being an
aardvark after all.
Maureen
Lipman's reading will grip young listeners, and is much better
than her strange choice of accents in The Penguin Who Wanted
to Find Out. The story is well constructed too. It's almost
two tales in one. The first half of the story follows Pim
as he meets other animals and learns about the world around
him. The second half follows Pim's lessons, including digging
and fighting, to help him become a proper aardvark.
Another
delightful release for young children.
