The problem is he doesn’t need them, and his parents aren’t going to stump up the money for new tap shoes. He feels angry but determined to make them his. Luckily Shelly understands. There are lots of things she wants too. Can she help Tomas learn the value of saving and working towards your goal? Are want and need the same thing? What exactly is delayed gratification, and does it matter in many areas of our lives? Listen to find out.

  • Shelly & The Can-Do Kids - ALONSO (loneliness)
    Poor Alonso feels all by himself. He has two teenage stepsisters, who are not always at his house. Even when they are, he finds he’s still lonely. Shelly knows all about loneliness – most molluscs do. She and her friends in the garden (a hippy snail collective and Queen Bee Bernadette) are ready and waiting to help. They have a few ideas to bring Alonso out of his lonely shell. Why might one feel lonely? What can we do when we feel that way? Can we experience loneliness, even when we are surrounded by people? Listen to find out. Highlights include – Queen Bee Bernadette and her choir of bees, slithering snails who work the cabbage patch and the reappearance of a character from series 1.
