    Shelly & The Can-Do Kids - ALONSO (loneliness)

    Listened

    In progress

    Poor Alonso feels all by himself. He has two teenage stepsisters, who are not always at his house. Even when they are, he finds he’s still lonely. Shelly knows all about loneliness – most molluscs do. She and her friends in the garden (a hippy snail collective and Queen Bee Bernadette) are ready and waiting to help. They have a few ideas to bring Alonso out of his lonely shell. Why might one feel lonely? What can we do when we feel that way?

    Highlights include – Queen Bee Bernadette and her choir of bees, slithering snails who work the cabbage patch and the reappearance of a character from series 1.
