Book Summary
Pebbles and Pogo Get The Yellies is a delightful children’s story about the playful penguin friends Pebbles and Pogo who suddenly find themselves feeling grumpy, irritable, and full of “yellies” — a fun way of describing big feelings that make it hard to stay calm. At first, they’re not sure why they feel this way, and their frustration shows up in fussiness, snappy words, and general unhappiness. With gentle guidance from adults and through simple self-soothing techniques — like taking deep breaths, talking about feelings, and doing calming activities — Pebbles and Pogo learn how to recognise their emotions and manage them in healthier ways. The book uses colourful illustrations and relatable situations to help children understand that it’s okay to feel upset sometimes, and that learning how to calm down helps them feel better and get along with others.
