Pim is a baby aardvark with a long, furry nose. He has tiny little claws
instead of fingers and toes and sleeps in a cosy burrow. But he isn't
sure what being an aardvark really means. He asks his mother all sorts
of questions, and she decides it is time he found out what being an
aardvark is all about.
In his quest to discover the world around him, he meets lots of exotic
and interesting animals. There are snakes, cheetahs, elephants, and
monkeys, and they all have something to teach him. He's disappointed
that aardvarks can't climb trees, but as he learns how to find termites,
fight predators, and build a burrow of his own, Pim realises there are
some advantages to being an aardvark after all.
This is a heart-warming story from best-selling author Jill Tomlinson,
whose books have been hugely popular for nearly 30 years. Told in clear,
simple language, they are ideal for young listeners, who can identify
with the baby animals and their attempts to find out who they are. The
Aardvark Who Wasn't Sure is bound to appeal to children who love
animals or are curious about the world around them.
