A young boy struggles to control his impulsive behavior and learn to wait his turn in class and at home.
Louis can't help but interrupt; his words burst out like a volcano. But when others start interrupting him, he discovers the importance of patience and listening. Can Louis learn to manage his thoughts and wait his turn? This engaging tale offers a playful yet insightful look at the art of communication, teaching children the value of respecting others' voices. Join Louis on his journey to tame his verbal eruptions and find harmony in conversation.
All of Louis thoughts are very important to him. In fact, his thoughts are so important to him that when he has something to say, his words begin to wiggle, and then they do the jiggle, then his tongue pushes all of his important words up against his teeth and he erupts, or interrupts others. His mouth is a volcano! My Mouth Is A Volcano takes an empathetic approach to the habit of interrupting and teaches children a witty technique to capture their rambunctious thoughts and words for expression at an appropriate time. Told from Louis’ perspective, this story provides parents, teachers, and counselors with an entertaining way to teach children the value of respecting others by listening and waiting for their turn to speak.
