I found this to be a delightful story with lovely illustrations, using kangaroos as the main characters, which I really liked - a great way to teach children some new animals! The story was all about Jilly and her tantrums, and how her parents resolve them, based on the 'Loving Regulation' approach to children's behaviour. I have mixed feelings about how this is portrayed in the book, as it half gives the message that Jilly can get away with anything; however, it's great to see her tantrums responded to with love and affection, resulting in Jilly asking in the end for affection and realising there is a way OTHER than tantrums. This might be a useful book for children where tantrums are a problem!

I won this book in a giveaway. This book has adorable illustrations and shows a positive way of dealing with temper tantrums. My granddaughter is at stage and liked reading about Jilly.
