This book is adorable. It helped my then three-year-old son identify his “big feeling” need to destroy anything another kid would build. My son resonated with the dinosaur, Rex, who wanted to show how big and strong he was by breaking down his friends’ block towers.

I loved how the story gently conveyed that Rex’s destruction wasn’t appreciated by his friends and how, in the end, he learned an alternative way to use his powerful nature to create rather than destroy. It’s a sweet, simple story, and its heartfelt illustrations really resonated with my young reader.

From Meredith's list on for kids with big feelings.
