    Lisa R said:  Young children instantly connect with the range of emotions expressed in this simple book about kindness. After Tyler's block castle is swept away by an imaginary flock of black birds, Tyler doesn't know how to feel. His toy chicken suggests he should chat about it, while his bear thinks he should yell. In then end, only bunny who listens can help him feel ready to build again.
