Fabulous Book about Personal Space! October 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a huge fan of Julia Cook! I have just recently discovered her books.
Louis has a problem with personal space, so he is sent to personal space camp. Louis thinks he is a space expert, outer space expert, so he is excited to go to space camp. It takes him awhile to realize that the principle is not talking about outer space. She is talking about personal space. The author gives examples that children can easily relate to about personal space.
Louis is a funny, and charmingly sweet character. I enjoyed the story as much as my children!

I use this book as a teaching tool in social groups to talk about personal space and respecting others space. The book gives great examples of what is personal space when sitting, standing, waiting in line, etc. I love the humor used by the author to help kids understand that not everyone gets it at first about space. The main character finally gets it at the end about his relationship to others and that he wasn't attending a planetary space camp! Great story!
Funny book on serious topic November 21, 2007

This book is great for those k-3rd grade kids who don't seem to understand that not everyone wants them in their face. Lois goes about his day crashing into people (flying through space) and is told he would have to go to Personal Space Camp. He is all excited because he imagines that he'll be flying rockets or getting to eat astronaut's ice cream. When he sees hoola hoops on the floor, he is confused... I love the gray pictures of Lois's imagination and how he views his world (or more appropriately, his out-of-this-world) experiences. At the end he finally realizes that he had misunderstood what others had been saying all along. The humor is just what this topic needs and it allows the kids to grow without being embarrassed.
