One that can be so intense especially for young children who are learning how to express and control their emotions.Tom is playing with a train engine that Josh wants to play with. The simple solution is to take the engine away! Only that's not a nice thing to do. Josh realizes that Tom is sad about his behavior taking the train engine away. Josh isn't a "bad" boy he just wanted to play with the engine. He realizes he hurt Tom and says he's sorry. I like how this conflict is resolved with Josh asking for forgiveness by saying he's sorry. I also like how the boys end up playing with the train engine together.The second encounter in this book is when Josh would like a cookie and his mother says no! Supper will be ready soon.The author did a nice job of outlining some tools that Josh uses to manage his angry emotions.1. Counting to 10 2. Breathing deeply3. Kicking a ball around When his father comes home that night to read him a bedtime story, Josh gets positive feedback about managing his emotions. Josh sees 2 boys at school the next day who are fighting. He consoles Jordan with a hug until Jordan feels better. Josh remembers how his parents would give him a hug and he would feel better.Not all children may be into hugging but I think the point of this part of the story is that Josh noticed that another boy got hurt. Obviously the caregiver, parent or reader of the story can talk about other ways of comforting a child who has hurt feelings. My grandson is the type who would give a hug to another little boy! The book isn't too long but the points it makes are good. The three short stories with the sharing of the train engine, the forbidden cookies and the other boy who gets hurt are short enough to make an impact on a young listener. The lessons learned hopefully will be good tools for any young child to carry out in their daily life. Lastly I thought the illustrations were well done and captured the heart of each story. This book I feel is appropriate for the age group of about 3 to 5 years old. Reviewed By Kathy - Goodreads From the Author This fun picture book opens a lot of opportunities to talk about emotions and feelings. Based on self-regulation theory, this is a story that helps to let their feelings out in a healthy way. Children will learn how to breathe through anger and frustration, to be able to think before acting, to be mindful. It's perfect for preschoolers ages 3 to 5, parents, teachers and anyone who works with kids.
