Bobby's castle by Paul Beavis

Bobby is set in his ways; he likes his familiar routine and then one day Salma arrives and changes everything. Salma wants to play, Bobby doesn’t. Bobby reluctantly starts to play hide and seek with Salma, at first it is easy but when he can't find her he all of a sudden realizes he does want to play.

This book has bold simple illustrations that support the story well.

This book can support conversations about change and accepting new things and building new friendships. Teacher's notes are available.

I highly recommend this book.

Themes: Fishes, Hide-and-Seek, Friendship.
