The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung is the second book in a
series of children's books with NLP by The English Sisters, preceded by
The Little Sparrow and the Chimney Pot. It is designed to appeal to
young children and ideal for story time. The little grasshopper bumps
into a wise dung beetle rolling a ball of dung up a big hill. The little
grasshopper rather cheekily wants to do what the dung beetle is doing
'his way' and has a go. He soon learns that it s not as easy as it
looked. The little grasshopper then decides to listen to the wise dung
beetle and models the dung beetle 'doing as he does'. At the end of the
story he successfully models the dung beetles behaviour and achieves his
desired outcome. Modelling excellence is at the heart of NLP. As humans
we can model any behaviour by simply mastering the beliefs, the
physiology and the thought processes that underline the skill or
behaviour. For young children it is essential that these fundamental NLP
skills are learnt so that they acquire the necessary skills for lifelong
learning. The Little Grasshopper and the Ball of Dung is a story to be
enjoyed over and over again.
