Description

Lazy the Seagull is too idle to leave his cosy nest, and learn to fly. He prefers to let his mum carry on feeding his tum with little silver fish... His contentment turns to confusion, however, when a sudden gust of wind picks up both Lazy, and the nest, whirling them from their idyllic cliff top ledge to a grimy old car park. At first, Lazy remains in the nest, sure that his mum will find him soon. A little while later, with no sign of his mum, the local animals take pity on him, and try to tempt him with their own favourite titbits. When not even a cheerful, Gallic hedgehog can slide a slug into Lazy's beak, it seems nothing can be done to halt Lazy's speedy decline into self-pity. It is only when a scary, scavenging, fox decides that Lazy might be tastier than trash, that Lazy realises his salvation is in his own hands, or in this case, wings! The Lazy Seagull is a lively, humorous, rhyming tale on the theme of 'growing up'. Alliteration, repetition, and onomatopoeia, throughout, tickle the story taste buds of young readers, whilst encouraging them to 'learn to fly' by making the best of their talents, trying new things and exploring the world around them.
