My daughters developmental pediatrician reccomemd this book and the Color monster book. Great choices to help with emotions.
Easy peasy! Ordering was simple; shipping was fast.
Excellent book about popsicles - which is uppermost in my grandchildren’s minds right now - and learning how to wait.
Definitely worth the money!! The pictures in the books were perfect!!!
Let me start by telling you I read this book to two of my Early Intervention kids this week. They were engaged until the very end. Both children get angry and both kids loved it. I wasn’t sure how it would go, but they totally got it! Mind you, they are only two years old! Thank you so much!!
My 2.5 year old granddaughter and I go to this book every time mom or dad goes out. She has been struggling with either of them leaving the home and this book has helped immensely with stopping the tantrums and understanding that they will always come back. Highly recommend.
This book has been a game changer in my quest to get my 2.5 year old granddaughter to begin to express and understand her own feelings and fears. Highly recommend
This story is great for kids and parents. This story is a great reminder for the parents that kids are experiencing and processing the world a bit differently than adults.
My 3 and 5 year old love this book. I have been able to use this as a guide - I remind them of the story when I have to go out. This book puts words to their feelings and also gives them a story with a character they can relate to.
Very engaging story and certainly not preachy
Wonderful book! I read it to my granddaughter who’s turning 5 in December. Love the illustrations too! Such vibrant colors!
My five year old Granddaughter loved the stories.
Easy to order
Love it. We all want a popsicle but now know to wait and be patient.
I am a professional nanny. I am dealing with a three year-old that is. Eden in real life. I have read this book to her upon Request many many times. Each time I ask questions about what she could do and I have seen some improvement in her tantrums when not getting her way. Thank you so much!
