Politeness
What is this story about?
Snoggle and the Door That Kept Sighing is a gentle TinyTales Land story for children that explores politeness. Snoggle and Junior carry supper through a narrow castle door, but their hurried good manners leave no room for either friend to understand the other. Families can read it together at bedtime, during quiet time or as a starting point for a calm conversation about the choices and feelings in the story.
What can children learn from this story?
