About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is struggling with the rapid-fire transitions of a modern, busy schedule or feeling overwhelmed by the physical move from school to activities and back home. It is a perfect tool for children who need a sense of agency and predictability in their daily routines. The story follows Teddy through a series of familiar environments, including a preschool classroom and a swimming lesson. By using the lift-the-flap and interactive elements to physically move Teddy through the scenes, children practice the concept of sequence and closure. It is an ideal choice for building confidence in three-year-olds who are just starting to navigate social and athletic environments away from their parents.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on the routine experiences of a typical middle-class preschooler.
Ideal Reader
A three-year-old who might be experiencing 'transition tantrums.' This child needs to see that even though we leave one fun place (like school), another adventure (like swimming) or a safe place (home) is waiting.
