...This is the tale of Iggy and Liona
and unlikely friendship.
Iggy grew up in the Amazon…well
sort of. One day he was picked to
go on an adventure. Iggy brought
his backpack and his trusted
flashlight, and set off for this land
called “ENGLAND”.
The adventure wasn’t what Iggy had
hoped for. When he arrived, he was cold
and lonely. Every night he went to sleep
dreaming of going to this place
called “AFRICA” where he could lay on hot
rocks surrounded by friends.
Then one day he had an idea….
HMS INTERNATIONAL STERLING
All aboard!!!
He would find AFRICA for himself.
He took all his belongings and the poster of
AFRICA off the wall and set out on his trip.
Iggy jumped on the first ship he saw,
And away he went.
HMS INTERNATIONAL STERLING
All aboard!!!
AFRICA!!!
On board Iggy looked all over
for come clues. Just then he saw a
box labeled “AFRICA”…just like his
poster. He was so excited.
He climbed right in and hid.
AFRICA!!!
HMS International Sterling
Yes! I finally made it!
HMS International Sterling
Yes! I finally made it!
The ship soon came to a stop. He felt
his box rustling and then THUD!! his box landed
on the soft grass. Iggy popped his head out, he
felt the warm sun and heard voices all over...
HE WAS IN AFRICA!
Pardon me, I’m Iggy.
I’m looking for...
Pardon me, I’m Iggy.
I’m looking for...
Iggy was on a quest to find the warm rock
from his poster. He came upon a nice looking
pride of lion cubs. Maybe they knew where
his rock was? Iggy showed them his poster
and asked where he could find that rock.
Don’t talk to him. He’s di�erent.
Don’t talk to him. He’s di�erent.
Liona was the youngest cub. She thought Iggy
was cute and friendly, but the other cubs were
quite rude to him because he was different.
They had never seen an iguana before and
thought that he was a funny shape and color.
Iggy didn’t know what he did wrong.
I don’t understandwhat’s wrong with being di�erent...?
I don’t understandwhat’s wrong with being di�erent...?
Once again Iggy was alone.
The sun was setting quickly and he was in a
strange land where no one would even talk to
him. He didn’t know what was so
wrong about being different.
HELP!HELP!
HELP!!!
Oh dear!The cubs are
in trouble!
HELP!HELP!
HELP!!!
Oh dear!The cubs are
in trouble!
Just then Iggy heard screams for help.
It was Liona’s voice. She and the other cubs
were in trouble. A pack of mean hyenas
had cornered them in a cave.
Brave Iggy had to save them, but how...?
GRRRRRR!!!
He pulled his flashlight out of his pack and
cast his shadow on the cave wall. Then he
took a huge breath and let out a mighty
“ROARRRR”.
GRRRRRR!!!
The hyenas were frightened and quickly ran
away. Liona and the cubs looked up to the
branch and saw little Iggy. They were safe,
the iguana has saved them.
Brave Iggy went to bed a hero.
Iggy, we were wrong...
The next morning Iggy saw the cubs play-
ing. This time, they ran right up to him. They
thanked him for his bravery. “We were wrong
to think that being different was bad, from
now on we’ll never be mean just because
someone is different.”
Iggy, we were wrong...
“Come with us we’ll show you
that rock you’re looking for”
Tell me aboutthe “Amazon!”
Tell me aboutthe “Amazon!”
Iggy had save the day, he showed the
cubs that it’s character that counts and that
being different is a good thing.
He and Liona played all day in the sun and
talked about his travels.
Finally Iggy was home...
