Barbara is not having a good day – there’s been a crack in the pavement, mismatched socks and a very strange looking pea at lunchtime. Totally overwhelmed, Barbara throws a massive wobbler! As you read, try and spot all of the wobblers that you can find. You could have a chat about all the things you can do to help yourself feel calm when things feel overwhelming.

Enjoy this video recording of Barbara Throws a Wobbler by Nadia Shireen. Barbara Throws a Wobbler will be gifted to every P2 child in Scotland this year through their P2 Read Write Count bag.
