Description
A lively board book that examines the issue of not sharing in an amusing but reassuring way through animal characters – perfect for young children who don't want to share. The story offers a gentle way in to reinforce good behaviour.
Elephant hates sharing anything. When Gran gives him a bat and ball set, he finds it impossible to play by himself. He needs to find friends to play with, but will anyone want to join his game?
The Behaviour Matters series is perfect for sharing with children as a gentle means of discussing their emotions, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Each book has a fun story featuring fantastic characters. They support the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
‘Excellent for sharing and encouraging discussion... we can all learn from the approach taken in this series.’ - Parents in Touch
