About this title

Synopsis

RJ learns that his problems happen because he doesn't listen or pay attention to directions from his mom, his school principal, his teachers, or even his friends.


Introduce students in grades K through 6 to the most basic of social skills with this humorous story about RJ and his very rough day when nothing goes right. Four simple steps each for listening and following instructions are presented in rhyme so all kids, including RJ, will be able to remember how and when to use these fundamental social skills.


This storybook is the first in Julia Cook's BEST ME I Can Be! series which teaches children social skills that can make home life happier and school more successful. Tips for parents and educators on how to teach and encourage kids to use the skills of listening and following instructions are included at the end of the picture book. 


The series also includes:

• I Just Don't Like the Sound of NO!
• SORRY, I Forgot to Ask!
• TEAMWORK Isn't My Thing, and I Don't Like to SHARE!
• I Just Want to Do It MY WAY!
• THANKS for the FEEDBACK... (I THINK?)
• I Can't Believe You SAID That!
