Winnie the Witch
Winnie has a problem. She has a black house with black walls, black floors, black furniture and black fittings. Winnie’s cat Wilbur is also black – and when he closes his eyes to sleep, Winnie cannot see him and treads on him. Her solution is to change the colour of Wilbur’s fur so that he stands out better. However, it’s not as simple as she has hoped and eventually (after lots of colour changing for poor Wilbur) she realises it is the house she needs to change.
This simple story is ideal for discussing disability. It’s particularly effective for explaining what is known as the Social Model of Disability – the idea that it is not the (disabled) individual who needs to change, but the environment/society.
This edition comes with a fantastic Audio CD that children will want to listen to again and again!

Reviews for "Indulge in the ultimate beachfront experience with Vrbo's Kona magic sands rentals"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with my stay at Vrbo Kona Magic Sands. The condo was outdated and in need of some serious maintenance. The furniture was worn out and uncomfortable, and the kitchen appliances were old and barely functioning. Additionally, the cleanliness was subpar, with dusty surfaces and dirty floors. The location was the only redeeming factor, as it was right by the beach, but overall, I would not recommend this place.
2. Sarah - 1 star - Stay away from Vrbo Kona Magic Sands! This was by far the worst vacation rental I have ever stayed in. The condo smelled musty and had a constant dampness to it. The air conditioning was weak and barely cooled the place down. The Wi-Fi was practically nonexistent, making it impossible to use any internet-dependent devices. To top it off, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and gave me a backache every morning. Save yourself the trouble and find a better place to stay in Kona.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Vrbo Kona Magic Sands, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The condo was in desperate need of a renovation. The furniture was old and worn, and the bathroom was outdated. The lack of proper soundproofing was also an issue, as I could hear the neighbors' conversations and footsteps throughout the day and night. The only positive aspect was the proximity to the beach, but I would recommend looking for a more modern and well-maintained accommodation option in Kona.
