Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Throughout the book you also see him change as he understands more and more about animals, as he makes friends with them, as he hears their stories, as he sees just what they do for him. Malcolm is about to go a school trip (something he should be quite happy about as his parents really scraped together the money, but I can imagine that no boy is all too happy to have to spend days on a farm with stinky goat cheese), and on that trip he is going to discover that being an animal is more than it seems. K-Pax says ‘To understand animals, you have to live as an animal!’. Write a story about what you would do if you were turned into an animal.

We cover cultural events, family days out, and eating out in Newcastle, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham, Teesside, as well as travel, short-breaks and holidays further afield. Malcolm’s family have lots of pets. Create a set of instructions to teach people how to look after a particular pet. These could be written instructions, a radio report or a video tutorial that could be posted online.

And thus enter the animals, and the transformation. Most of the book take place on the farm, and we see Malcolm make friends, transform in another animal, find out about what happened to him, and also has a jolly good time as he discovers that being an animal can be quite fun and delightful. A whole world opens up to him, and I laughed quite hard that he had to keep repeating the story over and over again, and had to ask for witnesses (the animals he was previous with). Later on the book gets even more excited as a race against time starts and Malcolm has to ask all his friends to help him out. AniMalcolm is a fiction book and it is about a boy called Malcolm who doesn't like animals. He wants to go on the Year 6 trip but when he finds out where it is he doesn't want to go. His parents booked him on the trip. When he gets there he learns what is really like to be an animal. A whole series of animals in fact... K-Pax the goat cursed him into different animals. It makes him eat differently , smell differently ,think differently. Will he return into a human again? My favourite character is Malcolm.

What happens when a compulsive liar is suddenly unable to tell anything but the truth? Misunderstanding and mayhem, certainly - but also plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and some unexpected consequences.
