Little Monkey Calms Down (Hello Genius)

The little ones love this book. It helps them calm down when I remind them of Little monkey when they feel stressed

Such a good read to help kids understand its ok to cry and give lots of ways to calm down

I like this book it is a great discussion when a child needs it.

I’ll be honest, I don’t love this particular kind of illustration myself, BUT my 1.5 yr old daughter loves this book and really understands the concept of ”calm down” now that we’ve read it several times over. She loves to point out the mommy, daddy and baby and she practices taking deep breaths with me when we get to that part. Surprisingly a big hit and also effective (for us) at teaching this concept!

My little one loves this book and also helped him understand how to calm his emotions once he gets upset, he takes a deep breath and does what the monkey does to help him feel calm definitely recommend

It's a nice book, but a bit short on story for our 5 year old - maybe better for 2-3 yr olds to understand anger etc

I thought it was a book version bought it and can't cancel book version is out of stock , I just wanted to cancel but no way it is not on my orders list

We were disappointed with this book. Didn’t like the refrain of “calm down little monkey” because, as anyone who has ever been directed to “calm down” when they’re feeling upset can tell you, it’s not a helpful comment. We often incorporate lines from our frequently read books into our daily conversations with my toddler and I don’t want “calm down” to become a regular. The pictures are a little weird—back of the monkey’s head or an odd angle where the money is looking straight up and we can’t see the full face— maybe an older child would get it but for a younger toddler I’m not sure that seeing the back of the monkey’s head is helpful when trying to learn about emotions. Showing the facial expression seems like it would be more useful and interesting. Some kids books aren’t stellar but at least they have a rhythm or rhyme and this one doesn’t have much to offer in that regard either. All around kind of a dud.

These sturdy book collection is great for kids 1-4 years old. My kid is 5 and still likes to read it sometimes. Some books are funny like poop books and pony brushes his teeth. Good picture and easy to read and follow for toddlers. Good beginner reading material. It also talks about self regulation which is a key milestone at 3-5 years old. I am very happy I bought them.

La nostra bambina di un anno e mezzo lo adora. È ormai il suo libro preferito e... FUNZIONA! La aiuta molto nel gestirsi nelle piccole frustrazioni.

Such a simple but effective book for toddlers. Short sentences that are easy to understand and helps them learn coping techniques. Must have for a toddler.

I think this collection of books are amazing. My child has not been born yet and I am already reading this book with a funny voice. I really like the message you find underneath: calming down, breathing, accepting the fact of having a bad day. I want my kid to acquire these values and I will complete my collection. They may be shortish but will be enough as we end up repeating the same story again and again and they will have to finally read them by themselves. I will start when my baby is a baby and continue until he ignores them. I do not want to give them away, I really want to keep them. I love these books.

Little Monkey Calms Down has proven to be a gem in our collection of children's books. My daughter adores this delightful tale, and I couldn't be more pleased with the positive impact it has had on her emotional understanding. The story skillfully navigates the journey of Little Monkey as he learns to manage and soothe his negative emotions. The relatable narrative and charming illustrations captivated my daughter's attention, making the learning experience both enjoyable and impactful. This book has not only become a bedtime favorite but has also become an invaluable tool in teaching my child essential skills in emotional intelligence.
