While Grandma is never far from the action, it is nice that she doesn't jump in too soon. Kit gets to learn some limits and solutions with growing, toddler-levels of independence. The art is detailed, bright, and engaging. Youngsters will enjoy the other titles in the series. A note to parents in the backmatter reinforces these themes. It includes advice on how adults can model calmness, respond to tantrums (frustration expressed without proper words), and teach problem-solving skills to toddlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781623542856\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-62354-285-6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781623542856\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEPUB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-63289-340-6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 24\u003cbr\u003e6 \u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e x 8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e"}
