Thomas The Tiger's Terrible Twos - The Beginning

Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Kids go through their terrible two’s and embarrassingly siblings have to deal with it. Thomas doesn’t know how to handle his emotions. A great book for families and siblings.

The cover is unquestionably precious, it drew me right in. Knowingly, I went for a spin. The story reminds us, we all have tough days. They come to us in unpredictable ways. So how do we handle, unruly emotion? Some say with love and unconditional devotion. Perhaps you are wondering, but what should I do? Just remember, you once were a terrible two.

Any family with young children will be able to relate to this. It's a good starting point for a conversation on the differences between patience and frustration.

This is a very relatable story for anyone who has experienced a grumpy little one! This little guy is not happy and wants everyone in the store to know it! The big brother in the story gets an interesting lesson here as well. The illustrations are bright and fun. The slide in the shoe store looks awesome!

We’ve all seen kids throw tantrums in grocery stores, restaurants, parking lots, etc. Being two and throwing tantrums go hand in hand, a rite of passage. But what’s cringeworthy is when the parents overreact and yell too, escalating the situation. Not so in these delightful rhymes! The calm mom even teaches big brother a lesson while she’s at it. Go Mom!Cute pictures and rhyme prose make this a story sure to hold your young one’s attention.

This is a very good book that describes the characteristics of a typical two year old. As a pre-K educator, I know all to well what these little ones are like. In the story, a family visits a store and “Thomas” the two year old begins to make a scene which really annoys his older brother. As they leave the store , the eldest child is reminded that he was once no different than his younger brother!

I recall both my boys had terrible twos! Well, to be fair, only from time to time. So I'm very happy to say this little book tells the tale of a two year old's tantrum perfectly, ESPECIALLY when it embarasses the older but very kind brother. I'm even more glad to report that it has a calm and happy ending. :) Enjoy.

This is a completely adorable and relatable story that every single parent has experienced at some point or another. I love that Thomas’s building tantrum is compared to that of a growling, roaring little tiger! It is a short and to the point story of a common, yet relatable situation that shows compassion at the end:). Perfect for all little ones and big ones too!

Cute and relatable.

Though this book highlights the reality of the Terrible Two’s, the rhymes and humour bring some much-needed laughter and a moment to be at ease, knowing you are not alone in parenting and going through this stage with a child. I love the lesson that the eldest child learns at the end! Great book to create discussion about the impact of behaviours and about communicating feelings.

This fun, rhyming book is great for all parents but especially brothers and sisters of kids in the terrible twos! A good reminder that no matter how frustrating we find out little brothers or sisters, we were all just like them not that long ago!
