This is a story about a man who thought he was so strong and invincible and yet he was frightened by something very small at the end of the story. Children have loved this story for many years. It was first published as part of Victoria Carlton’s literacy program and has been published as a picture book due to popular demand.
Children giggle, laugh, and delight in Strong Kong’s rather boastful character. They identify with him when he finally feels fear. Young children also like to pretend they are not frightened by anything and love to demonstrate their physical strength. The gentle humour in this simple but appealing plot will delight children 2-7 years. It is also a great book to revise rhyme and the /ng/ sound.
