From birth to age 6, children go through many different key stages in terms of emotional, social and cognitive development. The stories are funny, as renowned Italian children’s author Cristina Petit, paired with the drawings of famous Italian illustrators, plays with gently absurd humour to make the learning experience enjoyable for young readers. Four distinctive skill areas are identified: relationships, independence, emotions, knowledge of the world, which are key to positive cognitive, emotional and social development.
