I am so glad to see Harriet, You’ll Drive Me Wild here! It’s one of my favorites despite being described as “a wretched book” in this New Yorker article about parents and picture books: http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2009/10/19/091019crat_atlarge_zalewski?currentPage=all
Thanks, Leslie. I hadn’t seen that article before. And those are all the reasons I love that book because it shows parents are REAL people who get angry sometimes. Instead of pretending emotions don’t exist, let’s learn how to explore them in healthy ways with our kids. It’s one of my favorite books too.
