When young children seem to be about to go into a meltdown, this lovely picture book could be just the ticket. All about resilience, it gives both the child and the parent ways of coping with the imminent disaster by thinking of other options to handle the situation. In other words, if one runs out of breakfast cereal, there may be fresh fruit to enjoy (or perhaps toast), if green apples aren't available at the shop, maybe a green pear will be an exciting alternative, if the swimming pool is closed, perhaps a trip to the park is on the cards. Lots of situations that could develop into disappointment and ultimate anger can be dispersed by using another good choice instead. In each of these mini stories we find a family using these options to the full. This is a mixed race family, Mum, Dad, a little boy who is the star of the piece, and a baby, and their adventures cover most of the possibilities that can happen with young children. It is a board book, just right for sharing, and the jolly pictures plus the repetition of such words as 'uh-oh' and 'we got this' will appeal to all.
