Red Red Red cover

The acclaimed Polly Dunbar (Penguin, Tilly and Friends) offers, through a lively, read-aloud story, a meditative and effective way to calm the toddler tantrum.

Every toddler feels frustrated sometimes, every toddler gets ANGRY. They scream, they shout, they see RED RED RED. Now, in her singularly expressive style, the beloved Polly Dunbar brings us the perfect picture story book to share with those little ones overwhelmed by their emotions; a true-to-life, upbeat story about a toddler tantrum that offers a meditative way to calm them down. “Why not count to ten?” Mum suggests to her son. “One … two … three…”

A lively and reassuring book about seeing red in which all toddlers can see themselves and learn to count and be calm. * The Sunday Times *
With its gentle rhyme, nicely spaced text and gorgeous illustrations, it's another hit from acclaimed author-illustrator Polly Dunbar. * BookTrust *
“Dunbar’s always fun rhyming couplets and integrated text, along with the wonderful pictures of both child and mum, are a joy to see, and the red scribbles throughout – as well as on the end pages – give us a true sense of the feel of being angry. A great book for both child and parent on handling the inevitable temper tantrums that occur as babies grow older.” * Books for Keeps *
“This has to be the best new book I have read to Lily for a while. [...] the book was brilliantly written from start to finish and I would highly recommend it.” * Lily’s Little Learners *
“Red, Red, Red is a wonderfully illustrated rhyming picture book [...] With a great message for toddlers, and fresh, vibrant illustrations, this will be a fantastic resource for mums that are dealing with one too many tantrums.” * The Fountain *
