Editorial Reviews

"A sweet line of tiny toddler hardcovers." —Publishers Weekly's ShelfTalker

"Authors Carol Zeavin, MSEd, Med, and Rhona Silverbush, JD, use groundbreaking research to craft age-appropriate stories that takes into account the language level and comprehension level of a toddler." —First Time Parent

"It sounds crazy, but I’ve actually learned a lot from the Terrific Toddlers series that Magination Press has been putting out this year. Each book is as instructive to small children as they are to adults, and nothing shows this off better than this book. Basically, it’s about not sharing. You heard me. When a toddler goes over to a friend and starts grabbing their stuff, the adult instinct is to have the two share. But how is that fair to the kid who had the item first?...I’ve never seen anything that discussed supporting toddlers’ needs for ownership before. Really interesting." —Betsy Bird, A Fuse 7 Production

“The repetition will be helpful for young readers and will remind parents of the need for patience when coping with young children.” —Joyce’s Mystery and Nonfiction Book Reviews with some Non-fiction too!

"This is a great go-to series when children are dealing with scary feelings that they don’t understand and have a difficult time communicating.  Everything is a big deal." —Children's Books Heal

"I really like this Terrific Toddlers series and think I’ll be putting a set in my library.” —Mom Read It
