Ease little ones into the get-ready-for-bed routine with this warm and cozy bedtime book. Aided by Mom and Dad, a sister and brother enjoy a little snack, relaxing baths, time for brushing teeth, stories, lullabies, back rubs, and hugs. Cheerful, soft illustrations and reassuring text set a tone that helps toddlers feel good about settling down to sleep. (As the narrator explains, “I do my best growing when I’m sleeping.”) In the morning, the children will yawn, stretch, and be a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger, and a little bit smarter—all because of a good night’s sleep. Includes tips for parents and caregivers.

An award-winning author/illustrator team offers a fresh look at the times and transitions all toddlers face daily, giving young children the tools to handle routines with confidence and cooperation.

Being dropped off at childcare or cared for by a baby-sitter means saying good-bye to Mom or Dad—and for many toddlers, bye-bye is a big deal. This gentle book helps ease the transition with simple rituals: hugs and kisses, a big wave, a deep breath, and the confidence to seek comfort with the new caregiver or other children. Toddlers learn that good-bye isn’t forever, it’s just for a while.

Part of the Toddler Tools series, Bye-Bye Time can be shared before (or during) the desired “time,” or whenever toddlers need encouragement with routines. Includes tips for parents and caregivers.

Every parent, caregiver—and toddler—knows the misery that comes with meltdowns and temper tantrums. Through rhythmic text and warm illustrations, this gentle, reassuring book offers toddlers simple tools to release strong feelings, express them, and calm themselves down. Children learn to use their calm-down place—a quiet space where they can cry, ask for a hug, sing to themselves, be rocked in a grown-up’s arms, talk about feelings, and breathe: “One, two, three . . . I’m calm as can be. I’m taking care of me.” After a break, toddlers will feel like new—and adults will, too. Books include tips for parents and caregivers.

“Put away the wiggles. Put away the giggles. Listening works better when your body’s calm and still.” When it’s time for young children to listen closely, this book sets the tone. They discover that it’s important to open their eyes and ears but to close their mouths (“zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket”) so good listening can begin.

Una historia sobre la hiperactividad y cómo aprender a canalizar esta desbordante y luminosa energía sin prejuicios y desde el amor, para que los más pequeños empiecen a sentirse bien con ellos mismos.

Cuando Topito se despierta… ¡se acaba la tranquilidad!
Arriba y abajo, lo toca todo. Se distrae. Pierde las cosas.
No para quieto ni un segundo.
Le dicen que es: despistado, maleducado, impulsivo, nervioso, torpe, malo, hiperactivo, pesado…

Sus padres están preocupados. Su profe está desesperada. Y ahora, además, tiene que presentar un trabajo de fin de curso…

A Lilo no le gusta cometer errores y quiere que todo le salga absolutamente perfecto. En esta historia, un par de objetos cobrarán vida para mostrarle que las equivocaciones son necesarias y que, a veces, hay que tomárselas con humor. Después de todo, ¿qué es más perfecto que lo imperfecto?

Esta historia fomenta la cultura del error, donde se valoran y aprecian las equivocaciones en lugar de verlas como algo negativo.

Cuando el oso muy hambriento va de pesca, atrapa más de lo que esperaba: un oso polar con un puñado de peces, que necesita ayuda para encontrar un hogar.

«De allá hasta acá, de acá hasta allá, hay cosas divertidas en cualquier lugar…». Así da comienzo esta historia, un canto a la imaginación. Comenzando con cinco peces y continuando con «castillos en el aire» —como el abrelatas Zata, el boxeador Goxilla, el guiñador Yoko, que bebe tinta rosada como loco—, las graciosas rimas y los coloridos personajes de Un pez dos peces pez rojo pez azul dan un divertido enfoque a la lectura, logrando que los niños se rían de la mañana a la noche: «El día ha terminado. ¡Cuánto lo hemos disfrutado! Mañana otro día será».
 
Creada por Dr. Seuss, la serie de libros para primeros lectores (Beginner Books) anima a los niños a leer ellos solos con palabras sencillas y divertidos dibujos que dan sentido a la lectura.

A Pablo le encanta pescar, pero no puede salir cuando llueve. Por eso decide escribir y contar cómo es su vida y su hogar, en el que no faltan un padre ilustrador, una madre soñadora y una hermana muy especial.

" Una caja puede ser una casa, 

Una caja puede ser un avión, 

Una caja puede ser un castillo..."

Los niños que estén expuestos a cambios en sus vidas se identificarán con el cuento del Cangrejo Ermitaño, y, de paso, aprenderán mucho sobre el fascinante mundo de la vida marina.

Poor Hermit Crab! He’s outgrown his snug little shell, so he finds himself a larger one—and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what will happen when he outgrows this shell, and has to say goodbye to all the sea creatures who have made Hermit Crab’s house a home?

¡Pobre Cangrejo Ermitaño! Su ajustado caracol se le ha quedado pequeño, así que encuentra uno más grande, al igual que a muchos nuevos amigos que van a decorar y proteger su nueva casa. Pero ¿qué ocurrirá cuando el nuevo caracol se le quede pequeño y tenga que decir adiós a todas las criaturas marinas que han hecho de la casa del Cangrejo Ermitaño un hogar?

Una fiesta sorpresa es un relato acumulativo y encadenado que, partiendo de un personaje inicial, va sumando correlativamente otros actores hasta un punto en que el orden se invierte y retorna al principio de la historia, para acabar reuniendo a todos a la vez. Desde el Conejo a la Rana, pasando por el Búho, la Ardilla, el Pato, el Ratón y el Zorro, este álbum para pre-lectores y primeros lectores–que recuerda al juego del rumor o del teléfono averiado– destaca por su sentido del humor y la espontaneidad con la que se aborda la interrelación entre los individuos de una comunidad. Así, una confidencia acaba convirtiéndose en un secreto a voces y dando lugar a una serie de rocambolescos equívocos que tienen un final feliz.
