I am an elementary school counselor and use this book in all of my 1st Grade guidance lessons. The kids love to get inside a real hoola hoop to see what a personal space bubble looks/feels like. Julia Cook's books are great for elementary school counselors!</p><p><b>K. Kelly</b> <br><i>School Counselor</i></p><br><br><p>Personal 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.</p><p><b>Laura A. Jana, MD</b> <br><i>Associate Director, Boys Town Institute for Child Health Improvement</i></p><br><br><p>This is a terrific book to help children understand the need that we all have for personal boundaries. I teach first grade and my students got the point of this story pretty quickly and laughed when Louis, the main character, did not! My students thought it was wildly funny that throughout the principal's camp, Louis thought he was going to outer space camp when in reality he was going to personal space camp (i.e., he thought he was being measured for a space suit when he was asked to lie down to have someone trace his body to show how much floor space his body took). I especially like the activities that the principal employed with Louis (i.e., the hula hoop to show how much space others need, the body drawings to help illustrate why they ALL can't lie on the floor). I also did these activities with my own students which really brought the point home. Now I regularly overhear my students tell their classmates, Please be careful, you are entering my personal space. It truly is a book all primary teachers should have in their library.</p><p><b>JAG</b> <br><i>First grade teacher</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert.
