This author wrote a very heart felt story that I would recommend to all parents and their little ones..The illustrations are basic, simple and cute to give your child a realistic look at Daycare Centers or Preschool..So, you can show and introduce to them what their first day or week will be like without you..All parents know how hard it is for both sides to let go of their hands...There will be fear, separation anxiety for the toddlers and parents...It also shows how Mom taught toddler "Smiling Joe" to be kind, warm, right from wrong and how to make friends..At this developmental stage is when they mimic everything they see or watch others do..(Which to me is the place to start teaching non-bullying)...The biggest growing problem with all youth, at all ages around the world today.."Smiling Joe" will be shoved, knocked down, toys pulled out of his hands and not allowed to share..Yet, because of the values this mother has instilled in Joe he remembers not to hurt anyone and walk away..(I am not saying it's easy because they are still your babies)..In this story you will get to read how this mother taught her son, "Smiling Joe-The GoodHearted Prince" to deal with conflicts with others at a very early age..This is a happy story with positive messages to share in your entire household..At the end of this story the author dedicates this first book to her son..You could actually feel the love spill from these pages...Geared towards 2-4 yr olds....
