Judit Berg: Hisztimesék (Tantrum Tales)
Illustrated by Csilla Gévai
Tudex Publishers, Budapest, 2005
36+4 p. fully illustrated
A toddler is in a tantrum: she refuses to get dressed, doesn?t want to eat, wishes to stay at the playground longer, or just needs more attention. Every parent has experienced such situations ? or will, sooner or later. What can be done? Tantrum Tales were made up by the author (mother of three children) in a state of crisis in order to calm her thrashing toddlers down.
This little book contains charming stories about Tantrum Brownie, the friend of misbehaving children, the girl who didn?t want to get dressed and the boy who refused to put his toys away.
The beautiful illustrations and short dialogues make the book easy to read even for children eager to turn pages. The book begins with a ?tale for adults?, a true story to hearten and comfort parents, and ends with a wonderful ?additional tale? that only wishes to amuse its readers.
