Why read it?

1 author picked Personal Space Camp as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book was a fun way to explore the meaning of giving space to our friends (such as keeping hands to ourselves), and the outer-space theme cleverly woven throughout helped keep my son’s attention.

I really appreciated the author’s unique approach to teaching young kids about personal space, which can be touchy (pun intended!).

From Meredith's list on for kids with big feelings.
