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.
