Fennel's Morning Map: A Montessori Morning Routine Story

Fennel's Morning Map: A Montessori Morning Routine Story

Calm mornings start with a simple plan! Meet Fennel the Fox , who follows a friendly Morning Map : First… Next… Then… Last . With a sand timer to show time passing and star stickers to mark each step, Fennel brushes, dresses, eats, and packs—then enjoys a short play reward he waited for. Written for preschoolers and kindergarteners, this Montessori‑inspired picture book turns routine into pride and play. Clear pictures (not words) model independence for early readers and multilingual families; playful refrains invite kids to tap the timer, clap “Check!”, and point to each picture step. A gentle caregiver note at the back shows how to make your own Morning Map and start with short, successful time windows. Perfect for families who want less morning stress, more cooperation, and confident little planners.
