When he isn't first, he cries, complains, and loses all self-control! So...Is Dawson really awesome? He doesn't look so awesome when he bursts into tears because he's not first in line for a bubble gum ice cream cone. Or when he cries his eyes out because he's behind the crowd at the gorilla habitat. Or when he pouts because he can't be line leader at school. If Dawson really wants to be awesome, the whining and the waterworks must stop. But is that enough to prove his awesomeness, or does he need to show a bit more patience, fairness, and empathy too? With playful rhymes and illustrations, AWESOME DAWSON, IT'S NOT YOUR TURN! is an amusing tale about learning how to share and take turns. A special tips page written specifically for parents and educators offers valuable suggestions on helping children stretch their patience muscle and strengthen their self-control. AWESOME DAWSON, IT'S NOT YOUR TURN! is the first storybook in award-winning author Julia Cook's new Awesome Dawson book series, written for young readers in grades PreK-5.
