How THE MEANIES can help teachers in the classroom and parents at home.
As a natural part of childhood most children go through a developmental stage where they have a hard time determining reality from fantasy. Couple that, with a natural sense of wanting to seek approval from the adults around them, some children begin to deny their mistakes when they make them. 

At my house, Mr. Nobody did it. Mess on the floor--> it was Mr. Nobody. Something is broken--> Mr. Nobody must have done it. 

​The main character in the book THE MEANIES, blames imaginary monsters called The Meanies for his bad behavior. He wants to be nice and do the right things, but somehow The Meanies always win.  After struggling through a few situations with his friends, our main character is forced to confront The Meanies when they yell at his mommy.  He learns that if he takes a deep breath and lets it out really slow, he can send the meanie monsters away for good.

Teachers and parents will find this book useful to help children to battle big emotions that cause them to misbehave.  The colorful illustrations and rhyming text make it a fun story that children will want to read over and over.​

I hope that you will visit Histria Books and pre-order your copy of The Meanies today!
