Charlie has no money, but at The Anything Shop it doesn't matter. He can SWAP things he doesn't want. Charlie swaps two years of embarrassing hugs for a cricket bat that hits six runs every time.But things go wrong... Can he swap them back?
What happens when children trade hugs and laughter for fancy toys? This story is an entertaining and inspiring look at what would happen if kids could trade their mums' hugs for the best toys.
Themes of family importance, spending time together, and overcoming materialism (or "intangibles" being more important than material possessions) are explored. Overall, children have a lot of fun in this story as they spy on the "bad guys," discover the magic fuelled by their intangibles, and learn what is more important than the fanciest cricket bat.
The engaging story will be enjoyed by boys as well, making it a perfect read for both parents and teachers to share with their kids. Teaching notes are planned for release, making it even more family-friendly and fun.
The Anything Shop helps children to appreciate what is good in their lives, making it a delightful and thought-provoking book that underscores the value of what truly matters.
