Lately, I’ve bought an interesting picture book for Lun’s bedtime story. It was bought at MPH bookstore at MidValley.

The Chocolate-Covered-Cookie TANTRUM

I find this an interesting and a good reading material for my 16m old son. This book, as per it’s cover title, about a girl who insisted to eat a chocolate covered cookie on the spot where she wanted. Nothing too surprise on the story, but it can influence little reader and enlighten parents who has hot temper children.

The illustration was done not in a normal cartoonish way. It uses color to describe the child’s emotion and the tension at that scenario.

Words are easy and brief. It was just at the nice length where i can narrate the story and act it in the same time. I am very sure this is the right book when i bought it.

On the same night, I read it to Lun. Lun wasn’t too keen to look at the pictures. But I had finished the whole story with him. It was the first night I’d shown him this book. Maybe he was not too keen to read a new book yet. There might be also the reason for the illustration to be too emotional driven. It horrified Lun with the intense feeling in the drawing.

I will try to read it in different way. I might start out with a play and a recorded narration of my voice.

Or

I can redraw another version of my own. It was after all a good story to teach Lun about his temper tantrums.
