Product reviews for The Monkey-Proof Box

In The Monkey-Proof Box Jonathan Lear intertwines his unique combination of nostalgia, wit and first-class professional development insights to deliver a comprehensive concept of curriculum design. The book provides teachers and senior leaders alike with support and structure for planning and constructing a school's curriculum with children at its heart, and emphasises both a clear purpose and authenticity in what is learnt and what is produced. It also shares plenty of practical examples which will both challenge and inspire your pedagogical thinking.

Jonathan's personality and humour shine through in his writing as much as in real life, and this results in an easy-to-read book that will put a smile on your face and provide plenty of laugh-out-loud moments - texts such as this one are few and far between!
