Peter
the Lonely Pineapple (2002)
The main character is Peter, a pineapple in a fruit shop who
doesn't have anyone to play with as the other pineapples have
been already sold. He asks the other fruit - strawberries,
bananas, apples, oranges and grapes - to play with him but
they refuse. The bananas are only playing with other bananas,
the apples only with apples, the oranges only with oranges.
But one day Peter gets lucky......and soon he has many friends.
Children learn the words for many kinds of fruit, feelings
and how to ask for a favour, accept and decline invitations.
The story teaches children not to exclude each other from
a group and that it is much better when everyone gets along
well together even if they are all different.
