by Donna Luck, with illustrations by Juliet Doyle.
On Monday Alfred Alligator is bursting with news – his mother has had a baby. He brings in a special box of treasures to share with the class. But Louis Lion wastes so much time that there is no opportunity at the end of that day, or on Tuesday, or on Wednesday. When finally, on Thursday there is time and Miss Beanie asks Alfred to share the box, he has taken it home again as he thought no-one was interested. Will the class get to see his treasures? This resource is part of Jenny Mosley’s Golden Rules range.
Jenny Mosley’s Small Books of the Golden Rules in Action are perfect companion books for this series and are bursting with ideas to bring the Golden Rules to life!

This and the other five books of the series are so sweet and beautifully illustrated. They each bring an important lesson to young children of how to behave and treat other people. I have spent time reading and showing the lovely pictures to many children now and they just love them. They ask to see/hear them again and again, and I can remind them of each character when they disobey the simple golden rules. Best for children up to 8/9 depending their maturity. I now have a hand puppet for each character just to make it really fun, but the books in themselves are delightful.

I have bought a number of these books in the set to read to children aged from 3-5. They are are well received. The children not only enjoy the stories, but get to know the characters: Gino Giraffe, Zelda Zebra and all the others throughout this set of ‘golden rules.’ A very good way of helping children to learn what behaviour is and isn’t acceptable. Children learn positive behaviour and respect for others by ‘watching’ the animals make mistakes, be unkind etc and see how the characters learn and rectify the situation in the end. A delight to read and a choice often requested by the children.

Im head of Y3 (our kids are aged 7-8yrs) and we bought a set of 6 of these books to help us to introduce the idea of a class contract with the pupils. The kids love the stories and the pictures, and love trying to guess what will happen next in the story. A real help to our classroom rules even though we dont use the golden rules specifics in our school. All kids of this age will love these books. Before we read the last story, we asked the kids to predict the plot and write their own versions of the story – their ideas were great and even the lower ability pupils were able to join in the activity,as they had listened to 5 of the books, they knew the charactrs, ideas, and concepts of “On Monday…, On Tuesday…” etc – Would recommend to schools or parents!

Perfect books to teach children important basic values. My boys aged 5 + 7 love the stories. I thought they might get bored of hearing them or find them a bit too moralizing, but they keep asking to read the stories to them. They really like the golden rules and we talk about them during the day when appropriate, also when other children have upset them, these stories are a good way to explain to them what may have gone wrong and how the other child may have forgotten or not been aware of the golden rule.

They are glossy and colourful and each one focusses on a different golden rule using talking animals. The stories are written at a level suitable for a really good Junior Infant level, Senior Infants, 1st and even 2nd Class. Because there is a lot of text and more challenging vocabulary, each page’s vocab could be pre taught to a younger class. I still think the Junior Infants would enjoy as the pictures and story line reel them right in. They would be a great addition to any class library and if your class are following the Golden Rules, these will be another positive reinforcer for them! These books can help utilise that bridge between English and social, personal and health education. You can get great mileage out of these books, using thematic planning and language experience approach-shared reading and writing. Extremely usable as in the teacher can instantly access them without any pre-teaching. The books also come in a A5 and A3 sizes to the larger books are great for individual class level. The smaller books could also be placed on a visualiser for whole class interaction with the pictures and language.
