Crabbit The Parrot

Crabbit the Parrot is a good talker and has fine feathers, the perfect pet. . . but not all the words this bird uses are kind and he has a terrible temper! Living in Mrs Jolly’s Pet Shop can be noisy and busy at times. When will Crabbit be chosen by a family of his own? And how will he learn to control his temper?

Sharing a story is a great way to help children who display challenging behaviour to recognise feelings and behaviours. The fun characters and humorous rhyming text in these story books can help engage great conversations about appropriate behaviour and allow teachers/parents to address unwanted behaviour in a positive way and help children relate the behaviour to consequences.
