Review: Life lessons for little’uns - Bought this and read this for my 3 year old granddaughter - partly because she gets frustrated and impatient at times (don’t we all). It’s become a firm favourite - I ended up reading it to her 4 times the first weekend. She loves the book. Whether the lessons in patience have rubbed off - I’ll have to check with her mother! Also bought Hippo Owns Up - and Monkey Needs to Listen - same reason - same response - probably end up buying the series. Recommended for the stories alone - lessons in patience etc related in fun, kind non judgemental manner. Great series! Review: Engaging whilst delivering important social messages - This series is brilliant at enforcing behaviour messages to EYFS students. The stories are engaging whilst also reiterating the core message, little ones don't really realise they are being taught a lesson in the process.
