The Tunnel by Anthony Browne
The Tunnel by Anthony Browne explores themes of anxiety, cooperation, curiosity, responsibility and being a risk-taker.
“Once upon a time there lived a sister and brother who were not at all alike. In every way they were different.” The siblings, who continually argue, discover a mysterious tunnel.
Excited, the brother immediately goes through, dismissing his sister’s fears. When he doesn't return she has to find the courage to follow him through the tunnel.
