Reading the picture book Pobješnjeli Flegi and making origami animals
We have a special event in store for our youngest black sheep – a reading of the picture book titled Pobješnjeli Flegi (Mad Flegi), and a cat-, dog- and sheep-themed origami workshop for children aged between five and ten. The picture book was produced by KRAS, an animal protection workgroup based in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, whose goal is to raise awareness about animal protection and responsible pet ownership among children. Last year, Flegi had his debut as a happy and mischievous puppy that keeps getting in trouble. This time, he plays with a sick fox, and the story involves his friend Viki the Cat. The fast-paced story draws children’s attention to the important elements of animal protection: vaccination, role of the veterinarians, symptoms of rabies, and steps to take after exposure to the disease. The story conveys love for animals and has a happy ending: both Flegi and Viki end up healthy, thanks to their responsible owner Dora.
