Description
Marta doesn’t want Noah in her story. She wants her friend Shamika. Ms Fable says they have to take it in turns, but Marta doesn’t think that is fair. When Noah becomes upset because of how Marta is behaving, she begins to realise that playing with other children can open up a whole load of fun she had never imagined possible…
In a class where Helicopter Stories takes place regularly, It’s Not Fair, explores friendship and fairness and the value of taking turns. It is part of the Helicopter Stories Tale series, a valuable and captivating resource for all early years educators using storytelling and story acting with their children.
This beautifully illustrated story book explores a common situation that arises for children and teachers taking part in Helicopter Stories and allows the children to explore their feelings in a sensitive and supportive environment. The story is accompanied by notes on how to use the book with young children, along with questions and discussion prompts that can be incorporated into the curriculum.
