Trouble in the Jungle: Book I

By John Gargus

This is the first of four stories I wrote for my grandsons Dylan and Kemper while they were students at the Montessori School of Rome in Georgia. Their mother, Miss Dolores, was a school teacher there. She read this story to her class as a treat to her young students who heard Dylan boast that his Papa wrote a story for him. This story about teasing, bullying, jealousy and showing off in a school environment became a huge success, not only with the students, but also with their parents who started wondering about what Miss Dolores was teaching them. The students got their parents involved at home by asking them to pronounce words the way a snake would with their tongues sticking out of their mouths. They also loved the story once my daughter shared it with them. I took the liberty to call the school the Monkeyssori School. They liked that name also. I hope that you and your children will enjoy reading about what is happening in this jungle school.
