Review

Jilly the Kangaroo is very easily frustrated and has no patience. Any parent raising a small child can relate to this. Jilly doesn’t want to wait, doesn’t like to compromise, and wants everything her way. Yet, with tons of patience, love, soothing words and cuddles, her Mother and Father manage to calm Jilly the Kangaroo down time after time until Jilly learns to use her words to voice her feelings before her negative emotions burst out. Jilly’s Terrible Temper Tantrums is a wonderful text that teaches children how to manage their big emotions in a healthy way for a positive outcome. –Kristine Daniels (Librarian). Netgalley.com

An impressive blend of original and entertaining storytelling with colorfully charming illustrations, Jilly’s Terrible Temper Tantrums: And How She Outgrew Them is very highly recommended and certain to be an enduringly popular, ‘kid friendly’ addition to family, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections. –Midwest Book Review

Five stars! I loved this book! As a preschool teacher, it has everything that I’m looking for in a book to share with my class. The artwork is beautiful and the story has direct applications to children and helping them grow into kind and compassionate adults. I love that the adults in the book explain what is happening and put words to Jilly’s feelings, validating them while not giving in to her tantrums. I love that Jilly learns from her past experiences and knows that when she needs support, she can always just ask for it. I absolutely love this book from both a teaching perspective as well as helping parents use more effective discipline strategies. An awesome find and a book I definitely want to get in my classroom! –Mandy Bartmess (teacher) netgalley.com
