Sidney Comes Out Of His Shell
​
A WONDERFUL TALE ABOUT KINDNESS AND FRIENDSHIP
For 5-7 years

Sidney is an ordinary brown garden snail, but he is not as ordinary as he
appears. He is incredibly shy and spends most of his time inside his
shell where he reads, plays computer games and watches all his
favourite television programmes about wildlife,
exploring and adventure.
​
Sidney is a clever snail but very lonely and
would swap all his books for a friend.
His life changes when he meets Chris a cheery and loveable caterpillar.
Chris loves Sidney’s stories of wildlife and adventure and Sidney loves
Chris’s brave spirit. They soon become best friends.
One day, without warning, Chris disappears and both
of their lives will never be the same again. . .

But since then, he had discovered a whole new world with lots of lovely
snails just like him all doing lots of fun things together.
Sidney had many friends now but he didn’t feel completely happy. He still longed
to have adventures and to see the world outside the garden. With the help of his friend
Drake, Sidney encounters long-necked Monsters,
the Terroriser and the Crusher beast.
But exciting adventures are not always what they seem and Sidney begins to
think he will never be able to get back home to his garden and friends. . .
