The values in 'Alice the Armadillo'
Alice the Armadillo teaches the value of taking on a challenge, in her case, reaching out and exploring a world she doesn't know. The story shows that we all have a set pattern to our lives, usually one that suits us, that we've been taught to grow up within and one that keeps us safe. It may be foolish to stray outside but we can all be taught to protect ourselves. Like Alice, we must accept that life is rich and that there is lots of learn if we are more confident. We won't find out unless we take an occasional risk.
ALICE lives in the dense, green rain forest of Brazil. All day long she curls her head inside her shell and sleeps, waiting for the hot wet day to pass in the jungle and the cool evening to arrive. But one night her sleep is disturbed by a flock of parrots quarreling about the colors of their feathers. Alice realizes she has never experienced such colors for all the parrots look the same in the dark. Clearly she is missing out on a world she has never seen.When the sun breaks the next day Alice is awake and ready to explore. She sees the forest bathed in sunlight and is soon wandering past flowers and sights all bathed in the glorious daylight.But all is not as wonderful as it seems. Alice can see all kinds of things - but all kinds of things can also see Alice! Very soon Alice is made to realize that she is nocturnal for a good reason.
