About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is having a day full of 'no' and 'mine' or when you sense they are feeling discouraged by the rules of being a good friend. It provides a gentle, humorous reset for those moments when impulse control is low and emotions are high. Through a series of relatable bunny characters, the story explores common social hurdles like sharing toys, using kind words, and managing frustration. Anna Dewdney uses her signature rhyming style to acknowledge that while we all strive to be our best, sometimes we make mistakes, and that is okay. It is a perfect choice for parents of children aged 2 to 5 who want to reinforce positive behavior without shaming. The book focuses on the process of learning social skills, framing 'being good' as a series of choices rather than an innate trait.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book remains secular and light. It addresses behavioral 'failings' like anger or selfishness, but it treats them as developmental milestones rather than moral failures. The resolution is hopeful and empowering.
