Ask First, Monkey! - by Juliet Clare Bell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

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?

This picture book shows children aged 3-6 what consent is and why it's so important. With
parent and teacher guidance included, it is an ideal resource to use in the classroom to
help young children understand issues of consent and personal boundaries, and to teach
them to consider the feelings of others.

The book can be used in a variety of contexts - as an entertaining story, or as part of a
lesson with the included guide for parents and carers - and its 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.
