Inappropriate Touch Children's Book: Teach Good Touch Bad Touch

Need an easy, age-appropriate way to teach the difficult topic of good touch/bad touch to preschool and elementary children? Joey Wants to Know is the children's book that will meet that need! It features an adorable young kangaroo named Joey who wants to understand the difference between good touch and bad touch. Joey's questions are answered in this informative story when his mother explains appropriate and inappropriate touch and what to do if it happens. Full of colorful illustrations and lovable characters, Joey Wants to Know is an excellent tool for parents and teachers to educate and entertain children ages 3-12.

I have personally read this book to children in libraries and elementary classrooms. Kids love it, and it is a child-friendly way to talk to kids about this very sensitive topic and help keep them safe.

A free audio download is included, so it can read itself! Show this book on a digital presenter and press play for the audio. Easy peasy!
