Birdie and the very hot day

One day when Birdie woke up early, the sun was shining very brightly.

"Phew!" said Birdie. "It's so hot today!"

"We must get out of the sun," said Mr Frog.

It’s so hot, Birdie and Mr Frog have to find ways to cool down and feel better. Birdie and the very hot day is a story to help young children:

  • learn what happens when it gets very hot
  • learn how to stay cool and safe in a heatwave
  • work through angry or cross feelings
  • learn how to have fun in the shade or indoors
  • understand that it will cool down in the end.
