Motormouth

A Story About Learning to Listen

SKU: D303-Net

Freddie learns an important lesson about talking less…and learning to listen.

Freddie the Fly likes to talk and talk and talk. He’s so busy buzzing about the latest gossip, he can’t listen to anyone else. Once someone starts talking, he can feel a small hum race through his body, and before long he starts whirling and swirling and all the great things he knows zoom out through the air. But Freddie doesn’t realize how much of a chatterbox he is until he meets Mesquita. Her mile-a-minute mouth mystifies Freddie…until he realizes he and Mesquita have a lot in common!

Freddie the Fly: Motormouth is a humorous take on the problem of talking too much, listening too little, and struggling to wait your turn.
