About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a big, exciting, or slightly intimidating first milestone, like a trip to an amusement park or their first ride on the big-kid equipment. It is the perfect tool for discussing the physical sensations of anticipation and the practical reality of waiting in long lines for a few moments of fun. In this story, George's curiosity leads him to a towering roller coaster, but he must navigate the challenges of height requirements and the virtue of patience before he can experience the thrill. The book balances the high-energy excitement of a fairground with the calm, steady presence of the Man with the Yellow Hat. It is an excellent choice for children aged 4 to 7 who are learning to manage their big emotions during special outings.
