Dear boys and girls,
Have you met Spillo the Cat? He's very special: he goes to
school, he loves playing with sandcastles, but most of all, he
can read! So, whenever anything strange happens, like an
earthquake that makes everything move and wobble around,
he knows in a flash what we should do. Why don't you try
to learn with him? It won't be long before you too know what
to do if there's an earthquake!

EARTHQUAKES… JUST FOR FUN
Pictures and rhymes. Especially designed for group discussionsand activities in the company of an unexpected guest; an earth-quake, who has a lot to teach children, parents, teachers andindeed any adult who has limited knowledge of how to behave inthe event of an earthquake. Experiencing an earthquake can oftenhelp children to grow up: it is only natural to be frightened and notafraid to say so; when something frightening does happen it needsto be faced together. These pictures and rhymes are for those chil-dren who carry on growing up, having fun and increasing theirawareness of what is happening around them. Earthquakes...? Theyare just like the volcano on planet Asteroid B-612 in the story ofThe Little Prince: a part of everyday life and nothing to be afraid of.
