Rate this book
Meet Iggy the Iguana! He likes to run, race with other kids and making jokes.

It's the first day of Kindergarten for all the young reptiles and everybody is eager to learn new things and make new friends.

At the edge of the Happy Forest lived many reptile families, such as frogs, snakes, lizards, and even crocodiles.

Iggy discovers that even though making people laugh is great, he should be careful when playing pranks and make sure no one gets hurt or upset.

The story encourages empathy, understanding others, manners and awareness. Children will learn about the importance of friendship, trust and kindness.

Young readers enjoy the playful illustrations while they learn about how our differences make us unique. By empathizing with these cute reptiles, children gain a great sense of accomplishment.

Parents, grandparents and teachers will love the gentle approach to social and emotional learning.

Iggy the Iguana is a perfect addition to story time or to a social awareness and relationship skills curriculum.

Wonderful and enchanting characters. Great illustrations to help tell the story. Kids are going to love this book and learning how to be fun and responsible children. Following the antics of the characters will help them learn empathy, kindness, friendship, and how to have fun. Good family read.

Iggy likes to play jokes, but his teacher tells him to be careful who to play those jokes to. Although the intention of the joke is to make others laugh, sometimes it can be dangerous or even not funny for some creatures.
A beautiful book that children will ask to be read again and again.
