I actually found this book a while ago online and added it to my own childcare collection. This book is about 2 girls, Amy and Margaret who are having bad days and how one tries to solve the problem she is having while the other is doing things to make things worse. It is an excellent book to teach children that you can find different ways to do things instead of getting angry.

An excellent resource to help children learn more about social skills. The activities could be used in a classroom or at home, and each topic is backed up by a clear and photocopiable worksheet. Topics include communication, giving compliments, personal space, being part of a group, expressing feelings, being a friend and managing conflict.

I chose this book because my little 4-year-old brother is about to hit this stage and enjoyed reading the story and being able to relate to it. The pictures were painted wonderfully and the expressions on the boy's, mom's, and dad's faces were very realistic. Looking forward to what'll happen when we tell my brother to sleep in his own room soon.

In this book it tells us the stories of a few children doing every day activities, and how they are reminded and learning to use their words to better communicate with the world and other people.
