The Mouse, the Monster and Me is a valuable resource for building social skills for children 8 and up. Aggressive children learn to get needs met without being “monsters”, and passive children (“mice) learn to stand up for themselves and ask for what they need. They all learn assertiveness, conflict resolution skills and how to deal with anger through the “me” communication style, which is based on respect, responsibility, and rights. Learning these skills helps youngsters increase their confidence and self-esteem. This simple, clever, and inspiring book is a great resource for parents and professionals to use with children. |

"The Mouse, the Monster and Me is a must-have book for every parent and teacher! I read it to my children who learned how to handle themselves in situations where they felt overwhelmed or enraged. Thank you for making this valuable resource available again."

"The Mouse, the Monster and Me is a valuable and empowering book."
—Michele Borba, Ed.D., author of The Big Book of Parenting Solutions, and Building Moral Intelligence
"It is recommended that Palmer's The Mouse, the Monster and Me be used because passive, assertive, and aggressive responses are defined and assertive responses are demonstrated."
—The Handbook of Psychological Treatment Protocols for Children and Adolescents, ed. by Vincent B. Van Hasselt, Michel Hersen, 1998.
"We have had a lot of trouble with my son being a bully (he has aggression issues as part of his Autism) and I LOVED how this book talked about the Monster and what it feels like in your body and mind to be that Monster. Brilliant!"
—Tarasview
