About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with impulse control or finding it difficult to understand when 'enough is enough.' Whether it is an extra scoop of ice cream or staying up past bedtime, children often find it hard to regulate their desires. This rhyming story follows Bill, a lovable monster with a bottomless appetite, whose inability to stop eating leads to a series of humorous but relatable consequences. Ideal for ages 3 to 7, the story uses Bill's insatiable hunger as a metaphor for overindulgence. It provides a gentle, non-judgmental way to discuss self-regulation and the physical feelings of being 'full.' Parents will appreciate how the lighthearted tone avoids shaming, instead focusing on the natural results of Bill's choices and the importance of finding balance as they grow into 'big kids.'
