These titles are also ideal for playschool groups and reception classes.
Developing good relationships with others is a key part of the Early Years
Foundation Stage framework for all children Birth to 5 in registered Early
Years settings (which became statutory in September 2008). The roll out of the
SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) Curriculum to all Primary
Schools puts an additional emphasis on teaching good behaviour and ways to deal
with emotions throughout primary education. Features include rhythmic,
repetitive text, friendly & ethnically diverse illustrations and humorous
touches, plus a page of concise advice for parents/carers. Rhythmic, repetitive
text makes these books fun to share or read aloud.
Reviews
‘Right and wrong feature heavily. Brilliant starting points for helping to
show young children how to develop good relationships by exploring and managing
feelings, actions and words in a positive way.’ –Early Years Educator
(November 20009)
Pre-school (April 2010) ‘This book is both educational and entertaining. It
aims to teach children the correct way to treat animals. Children will learn
that it is alright to scratch backs and pet fur – but NOT to pull tails’
