FINALIST at the WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARDS 2019
5-STAR review on READERS' FAVOURITE
Includes a JIGSAW PUZZLE for you to print and play
This is a collection of very short stories so you can read a page-a-day with very young kids
Whether you wish to introduce cultural diversity, or encourage children to travel or see exotic places through a book, this will encourage youngsters to explore the world with a new friend...
Join Roo as he recalls the many ups and downs of his life on the roads of Colombo (the commercial capital of Sri Lanka). From road races, to Polo tournaments, to animal rescues, this little vehicle has lived life to its fullest. Experience the joys and perils of Tuk Tuks on the streets, and learn many life lessons along the way with this courageous Tuk Tuk who is always ready to lend a helping hand and spread some cheer. You are never too little to make a difference...
Also known as trishaws or three-wheelers, Tuk Tuks are a common sight in the eastern world. All foreign visitors are encouraged to ride a Tuk Tuk at least once when they visit Sri Lanka: but the recommendation also goes with a warning to HOLD ON TIGHT!
All the incidents in this book are adapted from news stories and Facebook posts of real-life Tuk Tuk drivers who are unafraid to be more than just a means of transportation.
So, (I'd say 'buckle your seatbelt' but there are no seatbelts in Tuk Tuks...!), enjoy some of the sights and sounds of beautiful Colombo and its wonderful people as you read this book that also teaches you - you are never too little to make a difference!
