Description
Although he is initially befuddled, King Nincompoops’s dedication to attaining an environmentally friendly status for Nincompoopia is inspiring for young children who may not be so attentive to the needs of the planet yet. Timothy’s various suggestions for how to be green may also alert and educate listeners on the little ways that make a difference reinforcing the importance of keeping today’s world eco-friendly.
In this tale, Timothy relies completely on his own knowledge, inspiring listeners to adopt similar standards of resourcefulness. This tale also teaches primary school children that when they notice another’s mistake, instead of being malicious and mocking it, they should have good nature and help out when they can – “Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.”
Oppositely, the King’s willingness to receive Timothy’s correction is a good example to children as it encourages them to be unafraid to accept help when it is given. The King is prevented from complete embarrassment because he lets Timothy guide him to the right idea. The positive resolution to the tale urges children also to have conviction in their ideas, and urges them to stand up for all that they truly believe in.
