Well, someone at the library requested this book so I had to give it back. But basically it's a book about books. It lists and summarizes good picture books to use with kids to help them through changes such as divorce or potty training or moving house. Because I work with young children, I would like to increase my library of picture books to help children cope with life. I guess I'll just have to check it out from the library again. In the mean time, I've got plenty of other great reading to do so I'm not in a big hurry.
