~ Barbara Throws a Wobbler by Nadia Shireen ~

Barbara is having one of those days!  We all have days like that.  She starts her morning having a sock problem, then she has a strange pea at lunchtime, then she steps on a crack on the pavement which she had been trying really hard to avoid. 

Barbara’s day goes from bad to worse and when she drops her ice-cream she has a great BIG WOBBLER.

Barbara’s friends all try to support her with her wobbler, trying to talk to her, offering her a cuddle and small Bob even offers her his ice-cream, but the wobbler will just not go away. It is only when Barbara realises, she made the wobbler that she thinks about how she can UN-make the wobbler.

This book is lovely to use with children who may have the odd wobble as Barbara can show them how we all have wobbles, but we can all find a way of un-making our wobbler.
