Tiger Days is a high-quality tool for the 'big feelings' phase of early childhood. It avoids being preachy or overly clinical, instead using simple rhymes and animal imagery to help toddlers make sense of their internal weather.

It is exactly the kind of book that helps build the language comprehension strand of the reading rope. By talking about these metaphors, you're building the background knowledge and verbal reasoning skills that eventually turn a 'decoder' into a 'reader.' It’s a staple for any intentional home library.
