Overview:
Discover Sue Graves' Behaviour Matters and Our Emotions & Behaviour collections in a cohesive 26-book set designed to help children navigate feelings, friendships, and everyday choices. This paperback collection blends gentle animal-led narratives with practical strategies for talking about emotions, sharing, waiting, listening, and fair play. Each story frames a common social scenario—sharing a toy, waiting your turn, including others, handling anger, or dealing with teasing—and pairs it with a clear, child-friendly takeaway. Perfect for home bookshelves, classroom reading corners, or bedtime routines, the set supports parents, carers, and teachers aiming to build emotional literacy and resilient behaviour. The stories stand alone, yet together they form a progressive reading journey, reinforcing consistent language and concepts across two popular Sue Graves series: Behaviour Matters and Our Emotions & Behaviour. With durable paperback formats and a wide range of topics, this collection offers exceptional value, convenience, and ongoing reading joy for curious minds.

What Makes This Collection Special:
Two complementary series, one clear, practical path to better behaviour and emotional understanding. The Behaviour Matters titles use friendly animal characters to model everyday choices—sharing, listening, patience, politeness—while Our Emotions & Behaviour addresses feelings directly with titles like I Want To Win and I Don’t Want To Wait. Together, they deliver a logical learning arc: from social interactions to inner experience, helping children recall simple phrases during moments of upset or confusion. The durable paperback format invites frequent rereading, reinforcing language, self-regulation skills, and confidence in navigating friendships. For parents, teachers, and gift buyers, the set offers breadth, consistency, and a cohesive reading journey that helps children feel seen, understood, and capable.
