Joey the monkey loves playing with his friends. But one day, when Joey gets upset, he bites a friend, and everyone feels sad.
With gentle guidance from his mom, Joey learns how to pause, take a deep breath, count to three, and use his words instead of biting.
Joey Learns Not to Bite is a warm and playful story that helps young children understand emotions, develop self-control, and practice kindness. Through relatable characters and simple coping strategies, little readers learn healthy ways to express big feelings and navigate challenging moments.
Perfect for parents, caregivers, and teachers, this book encourages meaningful conversations about emotions, friendship, empathy, and positive behaviour.
Ideal for ages 2-6.
