Nicholas, That's Ridiculous!: A Story About Being a Boy

Lighthearted and full of fun, this story allows children to relate to Nicholas and the ?ridiculous” things he does and shows parents how to learn to appreciate and enjoy the humor behind these happenings. After reprimanding him on his behavior at least 30 times a day, Nicholas’ mom finally comes to realize that he isn't being ridiculous?he’s just being a boy. A book talk section designed to help engage children in discussion, imagination, and perception is also included.
