Freddie the Fly's friend Stella the Stinkbug has a problem. Or lots of problems. Some problems are BIG and some are small. But every time she faces a problem, like when she spills her milk or when Slinky uses her crayon in art class, she reacts the same way. She BUGS OUT. And you know what happens when a stinkbug bugs out? It causes a BIG STINK!
With help from Mrs. Monarch, Stella and Freddie learn about different kinds of problems: BIG problems, MEH problems, and NO BIGS. Each problem has an appropriate reaction and should be weighed on a scale before reacting. Mrs. Monarch teaches Stella and Freddie two important questions to ask themselves--1. Do I need a lot of help to fix it? and 2. Will it take a long time to fix?--and then the problem-solving can begin!
Follow along as Freddie and Stella learn to control their reactions to different problems, and to keep small problems small so they can be easily solved. Another great teaching story from the Freddie the Fly series by speech language pathologist and expert Kim Delude! Tips are included at the end of the story to help children learn to identify when a problem is a big deal and how to match their reaction to the size of the problem.
Extend the learning with five downloadable activities that accompany the storybook.
