Personal Space Camp

Teaching children the concepts of personal spaceLouis is back! And this time, he's learning all about personal space. When Louis, the world's self-proclaimed space expert, is invited to Personal Space Camp by the school principal, he soon learns that personal space really isn't about lunar landings, Saturn's rings, or space ice cream. Written with style, wit, and rhythm, Personal Space Camp addresses the complex issue of respect for another person's physical boundaries. Told from Louis' perspective, this story is a must have resource for parents, teachers, and counselors who want to communicate the idea of personal space in a manner that connects with kids.ReviewPersonal space, outer space... what s the difference? In the case of Julia Cook's latest book, the difference is a riot. Let s face it, explaining the concept of personal space to children isn't exactly easy, but as an experienced educator and astute author, Julia Cook leads her lovable character Louis, a self-proclaimed space expert, on an enlightening journey of discovery. While this down-to-earth book will serve as your child's very own personal invitation to attend personal space camp, it is also guaranteed to leave you (and anyone else who has any reason to interact with children) laughing your way out of the bookstore. --Laura A.
