Flighty Flies

Age : 3-7 years old - Reading Level : Preschool-Year 2

Is it that easy to be polite? Come with Judy, Joanna and Guy to learn the most essential magical words like “thank you” and “please”.

A humorous interactive book for children to discover the world of politeness

EXTRACT

The flight flies are learning kind words,
Words that bring joy and sound sweeter than birds:
Thank you, please and sorry, always a delight,
No fly is too young to be nice and polite.

But oh, how flighty the flies are when learning,
None too ambitious, none too yearning.
Thank you and please, so readily ignored,
Sorry is a word that they can only seldom afford.

Reading but comics, they've grown too brave,
Now someone must teach them how to behave.
So, on and away with our heroes we fly,
We call them Judy, Joanna and Guy.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Ana Marija Toman is a translator who likes verse. So it comes as no surprise that she used verse to write her very own first book. It is her wish to show children that good behaviour is not something tiresome, but something that connects us as people and makes life in the community more pleasant.
Polona Kosec is an illustrator working in illustration and character design for children’s books and magazines, as well as short commercial animation. In that sense, as she says herself, she is still a little girl creating magical worlds with colours.

ABOUT THE PUBLISHER

Okaši is a Slovenian publisher with a vibrant programme.
At every turn, nature reveals its new face and discloses a myriad of secrets. This is why we have devoted a special place to it in our publishing house. We are the creators of books that delight curious children and their parents in their discoveries of nature: in the home garden and the nearby park, but also further afield, in the fields and forests.
At Okaši we keep pace with the times which is why have embarked upon several electronic editions of our books. We have added sound to these publications and hence a new dimension to the contents already there.
