Reach for this book when you find yourself overwhelmed by your child's boundless energy or when they seem to be constantly 'on the go.' This playful story introduces Coffee, a pup who is literally full of beans, capturing the essence of a high-spirited personality that sometimes leads to accidental chaos. Through Coffee's adventures, the book validates the experience of children who feel they have an 'extra motor' while reminding parents that this zest for life is a gift. Appropriate for ages 3 to 7, the story uses humor and lighthearted rhymes to explore themes of curiosity and unconditional love. It is a wonderful choice for normalizing high-energy behavior and showing that even when a little mischief happens, the child (or puppy) is still a beloved member of the family. Parents will appreciate the way it frames 'hyper' behavior as a source of joy rather than just a challenge to be managed.
