Cornelius Masalı

The Tale of Cornelius Book Description

“When the little crocodiles hatched, they crawled to the river bank. Cornelius was walking upright.
As he grew taller and stronger, he could no longer walk on all fours. He was seeing things no crocodile had ever seen before.
'I can see far beyond the bushes,' he said.
But others said, 'What's the big deal?' they said.
'I can see the fish from above,' said Cornelius.
'So what?' the others said, bored.
So one day, Cornelius got angry and decided to leave.”

Caldecott's Leo Lionni takes us to the riverside with this mischievous book about self-confidence, emotions and jealousy. While reading about what happened, "Should people be proud of their innate characteristics?", "Do our words always reflect our emotions?", "How do we show our emotions?" We will have the opportunity to engage with questions such as these and chat about deep topics. Thank you once again, Lionni.

Cornelius has characteristics that are different from other crocodiles. But when he tells it, he can't impress anyone. When he said, “I can walk on two legs,” I said, “So what?” gets the answer. He never hears the beautiful sentences he hopes for. As the days pass like this, he learns new tricks from a monkey and wants to show them to the crocodiles. The result still remains unchanged. Then something happens...
