What does the Pageticker team say about I'm Sorry!?

A warm, funny story about friendship, shared space and the surprisingly tricky business of saying sorry properly. Scribble and Swoop’s veranda squabble gives young children plenty to recognise, while the message about meaning an apology - not merely blurting out the word - is clear without becoming too preachy.
