Monkey Bandit and the Naughty Ball - Paperback

by Maria Ellis (Illustrator), Maria Ellis (Author)

Do you have a toddler who is ever so slightly tempted to bend the rules at home every once in a while (all for a "good" reason, of course)? Then you will like the story of Monkey Bandit and the naughty ball

Monkey Bandit, much like any toddler, forgets about the rules. He knows he cannot play with a ball inside the house, but are bending over the ball or touching it with one finger considered "playing with the ball"?

This colorfully illustrated, funny children's story will make babies and toddlers giggle at the misadventures of Monkey Bandit. But, as a powerful teaching tool, it allows parents and educators to start a very useful conversation about "bending the rules".

For parents who like to discipline without yelling, rules without punishments, only consequences, reinforcing good behavior and reading with children.

Efficient with strong-willed and "stubborn" children, as it addresses the topic of discipline and rules in a funny way, through a story and a character.

Rules... rules at home... what are those exactly?

TOPICS: rules, discipline, kids, strong-willed, stubborn, misbehaving, behaviour, respect
