Be Curious, Clara Clownfish

“I wonder….?”

This is Clara Clownfish’s mantra in the story. The day has finally come for Clara to explore away from her reef with her friend Bessie Butterflyfish. However, there are so many dangers to be faced out in the ocean. Will Bessie’s curiosity save the day?

Clara is our Curious learner. Curiosity plays such an important factor in learning because it means a child is motivated to figure things out for themselves! Rather than being passive, they are actively engaged in finding answers, making connections and forging links between ideas. A curious learner is an excited learner!

Printed on A4 landscape, Be Curious, Clara Clownfish is a thrilling adventure, which shows children how interesting and necessary it is to pay attention, watch, listen and be observant. With Clara’s help, gradually your child’s inner voice changes from, ‘Tell me how to do it,’ to, ‘I wonder how I could do this?’ ‘What do I notice?’ ‘How does this work?’

Be Curious, Clara Clownfish is one of eight stories which help your child to develop a growth mindset towards learning and life.

Use these stories and you feel the atmosphere in the classroom shift. Instead of managing behaviour constantly, we are developing and rewarding learning skills demonstrated throughout each day. Children do not distract others because they want to Concentrate like Cooper Crab. They are motivated and switched on because they want to beeelieve in themselves like Bobby Bee and like Sadie Spider they do not give up easily.

This learning approach is a god-send! Children are empowered to develop a growth mindset in a language they understand. The characters in the stories motivate them to LEARN HOW TO LEARN effectively.

We already have Bobby bee, Tommy turtle and Cooper crab, my 5 year old absolutely adores these books. We like them so much we’ve ordered 4 more. The quality of the books is amazing, easy to hold for both adults and children. The details in the pictures is so good, you can tell time and effort has gone into each one. We can wait for the next in the series to come out!

Orla was so excited when she received her new book bundle! The books were so bold and vibrant; she couldn't wait to see the pictures inside. We read, 'Don't give up, Sadie Spider' first. The story was engaging and carried a clear simple message of not giving up. It is clever how each book involved characters from other books in Cape Ability. I definitely recommend these books to read with your child.

I have 2 of these books and my daughter absolutely loves them. we have read them over and over!! can't recommend then highly enough x

The Cape Ability approach is a powerful tool for pupils and teachers alike and I will certainly be using it in my classroom

Our 4 year old has absolutely loved reading about the journeys of Cooper, Sadie & Bobby. He has 2 books at bedtime and he always chooses to have the Cape Ability book twice! We are very excited to meet the rest of the Cape Ability gang! 🕷🐝 🦀
