The first days of school... acceptance of diversity in schoolmates and turning someone's being different into a strength and a demonstration of friendship, instead of bullying.Tough discussion points, but in Aċċù! (published by Merlin Publishers), the new story book for children aged seven and over, these themes are cleverly woven into a simple, fun and very humorous story about Teo.Teo has just started going to school, and there he discovers a special power: each time he sneezes, he turns magically into a different animal. One time he becomes an elephant, another time a rhinoceros, yet another time a monkey ... and so on into dozens of different animals. And each time he sneezes ... Aċċù!Written originally in Italian, the book was adapted into Maltese by none other than Malta's best-loved children's author, Trevor Żahra. Żahra's unequalled skill with Maltese further enlivened this fun and riotous story. Children set to read this are in for a treat.The story in Aċċù! is accompanied by fresh humorous illustrations, all in full colour, that help us join Teo and his classmates as they learn how to tackle Teo's amazing transformations. Even their class teacher manages to work her lessons around Teo's special ability.
