Short Summary
What This Book Is About
Kids have so much more to deal with growing up in this digital age. Although gadgets and screens give easy access to information and are great tools for communication, they also expose kids to risks. The Surfing Penguin aims to protect kids from these risks by educating them on cyber safety.
A collection of short stories for young readers, the book contains these four short stories:
- The Scary Plight of the Surfing Penguin, which talks about viewing inappropriate content
- The Courageous Quest of the Smiling Quokka, which talks about cyber bullying
- The Troublesome Episode of the Trolling Echidna, which talks about trolling
- The Galahs’ Close Encounter with the Creeping Kestrel, which talks about location services
Reflection and Comments
These stories are not only fun and engaging for young readers, they also help them learn protective behaviours that could help them understand what to do and how to deal with online risks.
To make the learning process more efficient, the book is also designed to be used with augmented reality, which allows readers to interact with the characters in the book. There are also reflection questions that could help parents and educators continue the conversation.
