Customer Reviews

It's not the best but ok.

I will start by saying I loved this book, but my 2.5 yr old hated it. We no longer call it "time out" we call it "calm downtime" and we sing the little rhyme from the book when he gets worked up and he hates it. I think the general themes in the book are solid though. I do suggest you read the rhyme multiple times to really get it to stick, but I loved this book and will keep reading it despite my toddler screaming "noo nooo calm down time".
