And this time, he's learning all about personal space. When Louis, the world's self-proclaimed space expert, is invited to Personal Space Camp by the school principal, he soon learns that personal space really isn't about lunar landings, Saturn's rings, or space ice cream. Written with style, wit, and rhythm, Personal Space Camp addresses the complex issue of respect for another person's physical boundaries . Told from Louis' perspective, this story is a must have resource for parents, teachers, and counselors who want to communicate the idea of personal space in a manner that connects with kids. Review: Review from Books That Heal Kids - Julia Cook's books are an absolute hit with our students. I was ecstatic when I found Personal Space Camp. I'd already been using My Mouth Is A Volcano to reinforce school skills like raising your hand and waiting your turn to talk. But what about when kids are in each others space during 'carpet time' or pushing and shoving in the cafeteria line? These behaviors can make instruction difficult and cause a lot of teacher angst. I don't know how many times I've had to say, 'Please, keep your hands to yourself.' Personal Space Camp is a life saver book. Angst will be decreased! Okay, so in defense of the kids - developmentally it's really difficult to sometimes be in control of yourself. Kids need to move and wiggle around. However, they need extra guidance building awareness of themselves and those around them before the wiggling offends another student. When there are 20 some bodies in a classroom - we have to learn to work and live together. And newsflash - negative reinforcement doesn't build awareness - it just makes kiddos feel bad. I use Personal Space Camp as a social awareness teaching tool because it makes kids feel GOOD about themselves. They love learning about the concept of personal space and how it can affect others positively and negatively. Most importantly, the story is engaging and Louis is a VERY likeable character. We also copy Louis and use the same strategies in the book. The kids love being jammed into a hula hoop and reflection gets those light bulbs flashing about personal space. And here is the best part, author Julia Cook wrote a supplementary activity and idea book!! Activities galore! I got my hands on it this Spring and started integrating the lessons in small groups. The main reason the guide rocks is because the activities provide cool visuals for the students. Yep, your lessons on personal space just got even MORE engaging! Educators, get this one on your shelf. When teaching classroom routines, make this part of your curriculum. Review: Great, especially for kids who like space! - Our child struggles with keeping his hands to himself but LOVES all things outer space- this was a great book for him. It helped break down concepts in a simple way and kept his attention. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,425 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #71 in Children's Manners Books #103 in Children's Values Books #234 in Children's Self-Esteem Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,201 Reviews | ## Images ![Personal Space Camp: A Picture Book About Respecting Others' Physical Boundaries - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91h6ZTjoN1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from Books That Heal Kids *by B***S on June 23, 2010* Julia Cook's books are an absolute hit with our students.

It helped break down concepts in a simple way and kept his attention. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New easy to read paperback about personal space *by J***R on December 5, 2024* Paperback arrived quickly in new condition and was a very fair price. This book simplifies basic concepts in easy ways for young children to understand. If you have hula hoops, you can easily incorporate them into the reading and and turn games into a review of the personal space concepts. I use this book in my classroom with preschool - 2nd graders. The pictures are colorful and help explain the story well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Personal Space Camp: A Picture Book About Respecting Others' Physical Boundaries - I Have Ants in My Pants: A Picture Book About Learning Self-Control and Respecting Others Space - My Mouth Is A Volcano: A Picture Book About Interrupting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1694691-personal-space-camp-a-picture-book-about-respecting-others-physical](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1694691-personal-space-camp-a-picture-book-about-respecting-others-physical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
