Time Out, Buzzy — Harriet Ziefert

Buzzy will not put his toys away. He will not take a bath. He will not brush his teeth. So Buzzy gets a time-out in his bedroom. First he sulks. Then he gets bored. And then he begins to play. He gives his trucks a time-out, and his bear a time-out, and his books a time-out, and his chair a time-out. By the time Mom calls an end to Buzzy's time-out, he's back to his old happy self and ready to cooperate. And he's gotten there himself!

The Buzzy books help children explore their own feelings and discover solutions. Written in lilting rhyme and illustrated with great charm, these short but sweet forays into the landscape of childhood tumbles are sure to resonate with young children.
