On this episode of Story Surprise, Anthony & Lauren remind kids NOT to judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, things are not what they seem, and everyone is unique and special in their own way!

About the book:

Owl, Mouse, Snail, Bird, Lion, Bee, Hippo, and Bat are tired of all these idioms. They are sick of people who still use silly phrases to define them. Are you kidding? This cheeky story uses rhyme, repetition, and rhetorical questions to send a powerful message to the world. Being true to yourself is more valuable to the world than the opinions of others.

This is the perfect story time resource for teaching children not to judge a book by its cover.

Drum roll please, on your knees…. It’s time for Story Surprise.
