pedagogical activity which will spontaneously lead the child to the right conclusion about their problems or their unacceptable behavior.

Wanting to prove that he is always right, he even con-fronts the authority of his own father - the king of the Savannah. Find out how he suffers because of his stubbornness and what lessons he learns.

We are talented, but it seems we are out of luck and nothing evergoes the way we have planned. Are the others always to blame or the problem lies within ourselves? The little zebra always fails to win in a race and that is the reason she is always angry. The story will tell you how the little zebra faces her problem and if she can be bigger than it.

The worst fears are the ones we have not yet dealt with. It is a well-known fact that big elephants are afraid of tiny mice. Meet your new friend from the Savannah, the little elephant, and discover if our hero is able to face his fear and overcome it.
