Elizabeth’s Toddler Tools® series helps young children and their parents cope with those tough times and transitions that happen every day (like naptime and bedtime).

Reviews

PreS—Bye-Bye Time addresses the separation anxiety that children may feel when a caregiver leaves them temporarily. It discusses feelings they may have, coping mechanisms, and the helpfulness of creating a ritual. Clean-Up Time breaks down a routine activity as something necessary that "can be quick and fun. Let's work together, everyone." This cheerful book could act as a positive introduction to an unpopular task. In both books, the brightly colored illustrations are detailed with thick black lines depicting a multiethnic cast of families. The pictures are upbeat and expressive. Two pages of "Tips for Parents and Caregivers" are appended. Both books will find an appreciative audience among children dealing with these issues.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ
