Description


"Be Patient, Poppy!" entertains and teaches young children the skill of waiting in a culture of increasing instant gratification. Children and their families will love following Poppy and Jojo's frustrations and triumphs as they count down to Christmas with the help of their favorite stuffed friends. Teaching young children to wait (especially at Christmas time!) can be tricky and the key to success lies in making the abstract concept of waiting more concrete for little ones. In "Be Patient, Poppy!", we use several strategies to help, by incorporating short songs to familiar tunes, using a visual calendar and countdown, and eliciting the help of two stuffed friends, Piper and Penny, who help make waiting fun. We hope you enjoy this Christmas countdown story and that it becomes part of your nightly routine as you anticipate the joys of Christmas with your little one.
