That was something I had never seen in any other children s book. Dr. Laura used simple language and lovely drawings to explain the reasoning behind the negative feelings the child may experience at different times and situations. The third book in Dr. Laura s children s series is due to be published in the near future. My Life and it addresses the fact that by the age of 6 kids begin to realize that they are not the center of the universe. This book will help parents guide their children in facing the realities of life.
