Emily is in a funk. Do you sometimes feel that way too? Her best friend at school didn’t want to play with her and she feels left out, confused and worried. Luckily for her, Shelly the tortoise is on hand to do what she does best; help kids work though their problems, with demonstrations, music and a whole lot of chat ( ALOT of chat). Will Shelly be able to help Emily see that you can have more than one friend? Can Emily find the confidence to make new friends? And just how precisely, should you do that? Listen to find out. 

Highlights include - a rap about a tin can, a frustrated squirrel and a band of musical frogs.
