🌿 Publisher's review:

Saeed goes with his favorite feeling, "Marah" (joy/playfulness), to the zoo. He has several adventures with it. But because he cannot keep "Marah" in the green, he encounters many problems. What will happen? And how will Saeed and Marah solve these problems?

Come on, let's see together.

🌿 This story is one of 4 stories I brought about emotions, but it is suitable for ages 5-10. Usually, stories about emotions are aimed at younger age groups.

The idea of the story is about a child who loves fun very much but has fun in the wrong way. He scares others and plays pranks 🫠, but something happens to him, and he learns a lesson about harmless fun and harmful fun.

Fun here was represented by a ball that changes color when it wants to have fun, to indicate that Saeed was controlled by his feelings. But he had to control his feelings instead of responding to any desire for fun, no matter how harmful it was to others.

What is also attractive about the story are the hidden advice panels on the pages 😍. I found it a very beautiful gesture ❤️. And what is also beautiful are the two activities at the end of the book. I really liked that the child cuts out the saying of the Prophet (PBUH) and hangs it up to remember that fun that harms others is forbidden in our religion, and this is what the teacher said when she advised Saeed by saying that this fun "is a sin."
