Monty the Manatee: A book about kindness and anti-bullying (Sea School Stories)

Monty the Manatee is a charming, uplifting tale which explores themes of bullying and friendship and emphasises the importance of being kind. It is a firm favourite of both children and parents across the globe.

Meet Monty. He's a big creature with an even bigger heart.

Monty's nervous because it's his first day at Sea School. He tries to make new friends but the other sea creatures think he's a bit slow and strange....so they're mean to him and call him names!

When a dangerous predator invades the classroom and threatens to eat them all for his supper, Monty comes up with a plan.
Is he brave or clever enough to save them all? The other creatures don't think he is.

This beautifully illustrated picture book is suitable for young readers aged from two to ten. It is perfect either as a bedtime read or as a story in the classroom to encourage discussions on friendships, bullying and being kind to others.

It is reminiscent of 'Chu's First Day at School' by Neil Gaiman and 'The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School' by Deborah Diesen. Fans of Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae and We're All Wonders by R J Palacio will love this feel good rhyming story which promotes a positive message about the importance of being kind.
