Parents in Touch Review: Behavior Matters Series - Delightful and well thought out story by a highly qualified author that illustrates why its important to understand or control certain behaviours that some young children struggle with at times. Also easy to follow with some extra discussion - my daughter really responded to these books and her teacher even borrowed the set for class story time too. Review: Lovely Behavioural Book for Lively Tots - This was the second in the series purchased for my grandson who was having trouble paying attention and listening to instructions. He loved this book and liked to have it read to him several times over at bedtime. I only have to say the word "monkey" and he immediately sits up and listens. It really works. Would recommend. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 110,478 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 219 in Beginner Readers for Children 1,201 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings 1,236 in Children's Books on Self-Esteem & Self-Respect | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 397 Reviews | ## Images ![Monkey Needs to Listen - A book about paying attention: A book about paying attention (Behaviour Matters) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VuvQ4zXdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Behavior Matters Series *by K***N on 11 October 2019* Delightful and well thought out story by a highly qualified author that illustrates why its important to understand or control certain behaviours that some young children struggle with at times.

He loved this book and liked to have it read to him several times over at bedtime. I only have to say the word "monkey" and he immediately sits up and listens. It really works. Would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a gem these books are *by K***S on 31 May 2023* Both grandsons looked through the book straight away. The older one ( 5 yrs) even took it in the car when taking nana home. The younger grandson (4 yrs) browsed through it with me ( saving it for proper reads at bed time). When I asked him if Monkey reminded him of anyone he told me Monkey was just like him. So he could relate to the character well and liked the humour and expressions on Monkeys face. For a boy with ADHD and another with Autism, these stories will get through better than anything so far ## Frequently Bought Together - Monkey Needs to Listen - A book about paying attention (Behaviour Matters) - Tiger Has a Tantrum - A book about feeling angry (Behaviour Matters) - Croc Needs to Wait: A Book about Patience (Behavior Matters) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49213537-monkey-needs-to-listen-a-book-about-paying-attention-book](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49213537-monkey-needs-to-listen-a-book-about-paying-attention-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
