Good Thing You're Not an Octopus!, written by Julie Menkes and illustrated by Maggie Smith, is ideal for a young child who fusses at every bath, nap, and mealtime. The little boy in the book doesn't want to get dressed, so he is reminded that if he were an octopus, he'd have eight legs to put in his pants instead of just two. The book goes through similar logic with mealtime, getting into his car seat, naptime, bathtime, brushing his teeth, and so on. It's a fun way to help kids think differently about all their daily routines and the parent can then remind them of the book later in the day when one of those routines is being refused.
