Little Tim is the central character for this innovative series that
speaks both to parents and their little ones. Each of the first
four books in the series deals with a fundamental problem that
might affect three- to five-year olds: fear, especially of the
dark, anger and aggression that are frightening and difficult to
manage, jealousy, perhaps due to the arrival of a new family member
and the shyness that makes it difficult to face new situations such
as the first day of nursery school. The book's point of view makes
it unique. It speaks directly to the reader, describing a problem
and providing five small, simple solutions to help face it. All of
the points are imaginative and written using language suitable to
the targeted age group with examples taken from the child's daily
life that he or she can actually put into practice.

In this delightful story, by the same author who wrote When Grandma
Gives You a Lemon Tree, a boy is disappointed with his
grandfather's gift--until he learns he can use it to build exactly
what he wanted with his own two hands, and a little help from
grandpa, of course! You asked for a special house for your dolls;
but instead Grandpa gives you a toolbox! What do you do? Launching
it into outer space is a bad idea. So is feeding it to a T. rex!
Instead, be patient, pay attention, and you might find that you're
pretty handy. And just maybe, with grandpa's help, you'll get that
dollhouse after all. This clever story celebrates kindness, hard
work, and community, as well as variety in gender expression: the
male main character proudly engages in activities that might be
considered typically girl (playing with dolls) and typically boy
(building with tools).
