DON’T BE GRUMPY MONKEY BY SNEZANA DANILOVIC AND SANDY THORNTON
BACK OF THE BOOK
Monkey is having a bad day. He couldn’t find his teddy, the swings were busy, and now Dog is in his place in yoga class. Monkey does not want to do yoga, and he does not want to work with Dog. Monkey is grumpy!… But then, something magical happens. Happy Panda suggests a special song, Sa Ta Na Ma. The gentle singing and chanting shifts Monkey’s grumpy mood making him feel calmer and more centred. Yoga is the best but making up with friends is even better!
An entertaining and humorous story about yoga, friendship and mindfulness.
‘Don’t Be Grumpy, Monkey!’ is the second book in the series and features Sa Ta Na Ma meditation and chanting.
Children can join in singing and chanting the Sa Ta Na Ma meditation at home (just scan the QR code in the book).
MY REVIEW
Don’t Be Grumpy Monkey is a brilliant book for kids but also for adults as well.
The story is about Monkey who arrives late for his yoga class and is in a grumpy mood. The Yoga teacher, Happy Panda takes the class through techniques to help people become calm, happy, and peaceful.
These techniques include breathing exercises, yoga positions, a calming song, and imagination / visualisation.
Not only would these techniques be useful for children who are feeling angry or stressed but they are techniques showing to adults to help with stress and anxieties.
Great life skills for everyone and done in an amazing way to teach children skills that could help them throughout their life.
