Ask First, Monkey!
Meet Monkey. Tickletastic Monkey. He's the best tickler in the world, ever; even his mum says so. And there's nothing he loves more than tickling ALL his friends at playtime!
But what happens if some of his friends don't want to be tickled?
Ask First, Monkey! shows children aged 3-6 what consent is and why it's so important. The book can be used as an entertaining story, or as part of a lesson with the included guide for teachers, parents and carers. Fun pictures and humour are guaranteed to keep the attention of young children across multiple readings.
An ideal tool to encourage early understanding of consent, Ask First, Monkey! helps to empower children to respect themselves and others, and teach them that a reason for 'no' is never needed - it just needs to be respected.
