Behaviour Matters: Turtle Comes Out of Her Shell - A book about feeling shy
Sue Graves, Trevor Dunton
This funny, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to being brave when they feel shy and help them find ways to feel more confident. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children fully understand how their behaviour can impact on others. Turtle has a beautiful singing voice, but she feels far to shy to enter the talent show at school. By talking to her friends about it, she develops a way to overcome her shyness in a way that works for her. The Behaviour Matters series of picture books provide a gentle means of discussing emotions, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values. Suitable for children under 5.

This story is about a turtle who is very shy. She wants to take part in a school talent show but says that she won't be able to do it. She decides to sing from inside her shell and when she hears everyone clapping she comes out of her shell.

I loved this book because at the end turtle came out of her shell. l liked turtle because she was shy singing in front of people and then she wasn't shy when she sang with little bear. I would recommend this book to my little sister because it would teach her that if she's feeling shy she doesn't need to hide.

I loved turtle because at the end of the story she came out and bowed. It taught me that if we feel shy we can just come out. I think my brother should read this book because he will love it.
