Parents in Touch Review: Behavior Matters Series - Delightful and well thought out story by a highly qualified author that illustrates why its important to understand or control certain behaviours that some young children struggle with at times. Also easy to follow with some extra discussion - my daughter really responded to these books and her teacher even borrowed the set for class story time too. Review: Lovely Behavioural Book for Lively Tots - This was the second in the series purchased for my grandson who was having trouble paying attention and listening to instructions. He loved this book and liked to have it read to him several times over at bedtime. I only have to say the word "monkey" and he immediately sits up and listens. It really works. Would recommend.

What a gem these books are
Both grandsons looked through the book straight away. The older one ( 5 yrs) even took it in the car when taking nana home. The younger grandson (4 yrs) browsed through it with me ( saving it for proper reads at bed time). When I asked him if Monkey reminded him of anyone he told me Monkey was just like him. So he could relate to the character well and liked the humour and expressions on Monkeys face. For a boy with ADHD and another with Autism, these stories will get through better than anything so far

A Fun Lesson in Listening!
This adorable monkey story is the perfect antidote for little ones who forget to listen. With silly mix-ups, and a sweet message, it shows how paying attention can save the day. Kids laugh, learn, and maybe even start using their “listening ears” a little more!

It has big colorful playful artwork along with suggested talking points for children to discuss.
I loved the story of monkey who need to listen and pay attention to his teacher Mr. Croc. It kept my son engaged and helped him to see how not listening impacts others.
