Reach for this book when your toddler is struggling with the high-energy anticipation of a special event or needs a gentle lesson in impulse control. Julius is a spirited mouse who finds a bowl of candy corn and must navigate the difficult task of waiting for the party to start before he can eat it. It is a perfect tool for modeling patience during the often overwhelming holiday season. Henkes uses rhythmic counting and vibrant illustrations to turn a lesson in self-regulation into a joyful game. Beyond the focus on waiting, the book naturally weaves in early numeracy skills as Julius counts his treats. It is an ideal choice for children ages 0 to 3 who are beginning to understand social expectations and the rewarding feeling of finally reaching a goal.
