Meet Maud the Koala

Maud the Koala

by Jennifer E. Morris

Maud is a typical young koala--she likes to have fun at the playground, go to dance class, and practice tae kwon do. But sometimes she feels anxious, and she isn't sure how to handle it! By using her imagination and getting a little help from her friends, Maud discovers ways to face some of the things that at first seem so scary.

Meet Maud the Koala contains two short tales about a young koala dealing with typical anxiety-inducing situations for kiddos: a big birthday party and getting a shot. These are like social stories that you'd use with kids who struggle to react appropriately during certain life events. I thought these were effective! The illustrations are cute, too.

Two stories about fears kids might have and situations they might find themselves in. simple, but cute, illustrations.

Cute stories and illustrations. Nice for young readers who like the comics format.
