On his way home from school, Tito finds his favourite toy broken. This triggers furious quarrels with his siblings Rocco and Maria. After a passage through “Bickering Land”, the three brothers learn that bickering is tiring and that it is better to help each other out.
Modern pedagogy teaches us that fighting is good. However, you need to know how to do it right! By following the adventures of the three kids and observing their emotional reactions during a conflict, young readers will reflect on quarrelling and develop strategies to be put into practice in real situations at home and at school.
This game-book series is an innovative and entertaining way to guide children through a journey of growth and play. These are called “stories at crossroads” because the reader will repeatedly find him or herself faced with a choice of multiple paths to follow, each one marked by a different colour, in order to choose the way the story will continue. Together with an adult, or on their own, children will have to decide what happens in the story, which path they should take, and how the narrative will unfold.
The books are designed for children to play and have fun together with an adult. Through their dialogue, the child and the adult will be able to discuss the options available and share ideas, hypotheses and reasoning. The overall events of the story will depend on the choices made by the young reader, independently or together with the adult.
