About This Book
Reach for this book when you and your toddler are feeling the exhausting weight of a fussy day or a new sibling's arrival. It provides a lighthearted way to discuss the sometimes overwhelming reality of a crying baby without adding to the stress of the moment. The story follows a group of well-meaning farm animals who try everything they can think of, from feeding to playing, to soothe a wailing infant. It is a perfect choice for children aged 1 to 4 who are learning about empathy and the needs of others. Parents will appreciate the rhythmic, repetitive text that invites participation and the gentle reminder that sometimes, the simplest solution is exactly what is needed. It validates the frustration of not knowing how to help while modeling patience and teamwork in a humorous, animal-centric setting.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and realistic in its approach to infant needs. It addresses the 'stress' of a crying baby in a way that is hopeful and humorous rather than anxiety-inducing. There are no heavy themes, only the universal experience of caregiving.
