In this fourth adventure, the Tindims face a foggy challenge and must creatively solve the mystery of the floating moon.
In The Tindims and the Floating Moon, young readers are introduced to the enchanting world of the Tindims, tiny characters reminiscent of the Borrowers but set in a seaside environment. With a knack for transforming everyday rubbish into treasures, the Tindims embark on delightful adventures that not only entertain but also inspire a sense of responsibility towards the environment. The mother-daughter duo of Sally Gardner and Lydia Corry skillfully weave together themes of conservation and creativity, making this series a perfect fit for children aged 5-8 years old.
As the story unfolds in this fourth adventure, the Tindims find themselves engulfed in a mysterious fog known as the grumpy Gupper fog, which obscures their vision and creates chaos on Rubbish Island. Ethel B Dina, one of the Tindims, mistakenly believes that the moon has fallen into the sea, leading to a series of amusing and heartfelt escapades. The narrative captures the essence of teamwork and resourcefulness as the Tindims navigate their way through this peculiar predicament.
Designed with a dyslexia-friendly font and accompanied by engaging illustrations on every page, The Tindims and the Floating Moon is not only a captivating read but also a valuable tool for reluctant readers.
