Whimsy Workshop TeachingHow Monsters Learn From Mistakes (Book 16) is a 13-page social story featuring cute monsters who teach that mistakes are okay, and that we can learn from them. The monsters give several examples of how they have learned from the consequences of their own mistakes.
At the end of the story there are yes/no questions that review the story elements and reinforce concepts. These can be printed as part of the book, or left off the final printed version.
