Meet Joolz, Pedro, Bubbles, Claws & Robbie - Your child's new kind friends
Joolz the Bear
Hello! I’m Joolz. I love painting pictures, singing and dancing, and giving big bear hugs to my friends. Helping friends is so important, that’s what makes me happy.
Pedro the Bat
Hello bat fans. I am Pedro. Even though I am small, I am learning to be very brave. I used to be afraid of the dark (which is funny for a bat!), but now I know that being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared—it means you try anyway.
Bubble the Octopus
Hi there! I'm Bubbles. With eight wiggly arms, I have a lot of energy! I love playing games and making music (especially on my drums!). I'm learning that being excited is great, but sometimes I need to slow down and listen to my friends, too.
Claws the Lobster
Hello. I’m Claws. The ocean is a big place, and that gives me plenty of room to think things through. Even when I make a mistake, I brush off my shell and try again. Practice makes progress!
Robbie the Robin
I’m Robbie. Sometimes things feel a little scary. But with my friends by my side, I am learning that you can be scared and brave at the same time.

My two-year-old daughter received this book and was instantly repeating some of the phrases from it. Picking up the book and telling us ‘Boom Pah Pah’. She loved identifying all of the animals and really enjoys reading it. As a lot of people will know, a two year old’s attention span isn’t great, but the book held her attention, so much so we read it a few times! Lovely book, a very easy read and great for young children.
