Taking Turns on the Tricycle: A Cozy Preschool Social Skills Story About Sharing, Taking Turns, Patience, and Big Feelings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243634007)

Waiting is hard - especially when a shiny red tricycle is involved.

If you're like many parents, one of your biggest hopes is to raise a child who is kind, patient, and thoughtful toward others. Taking Turns on the Tricycle gently supports that goal with a calm, cozy story designed especially for preschoolers.

It's a beautiful day at the playground, but when Hop the Kangaroo zooms off on the red tricycle and forgets to share, Elle the Elephant feels invisible... and Milo the Chameleon turns a sad soft blue.

The playground doesn't feel cozy when friends are left out.

Luckily, wise Slow-Mo the Sloth introduces a simple, child-friendly solution - the Tomato Timer. With a little tick-tock, the friends discover that taking turns can be fair, fun, and friendship-saving.

Rather than lecturing or correcting, Taking Turns on the Tricycle shows children:

• What waiting feels like

• How actions affect others

• How simple tools can solve everyday conflicts

Through relatable characters and warm illustrations, children learn that patience and sharing help everyone feel included.

• Patience - How to wait for a turn without frustration

• Empathy - Understanding how others feel when left out

• Fairness & Problem-Solving - Using a simple tool to take turns

• Friendship Skills - Playing together with kindness and care

Taking Turns on the Tricycle is part of The Cozy Crew, a heartwarming preschool series created to help little ones navigate big feelings through:

• Emotional intelligence (EI)

• Social skills

• Growth mindset

• Gentle, practical tools kids can use in real life

Includes a bonus "I Spy" activity page inside for added fun and engagement.
