Finn Throws a Fit by David Elliott

Meet Finn, stormy toddler, who doesn’t want to eat his peaches.  What ensues is a tantrum to rival all tantrums, earth shattering in all its glory.  The text is simple and true, and the illustrations messy and whimsical, portraying Finn as almost troll-like, but charming nonetheless.

A book aimed at the very young, this one will appeal to parents as well – and to anyone who has spent time with a moody toddler.  I loved this book and read it with my kids, who all enjoyed it as well – even my fifteen-year old.  We have our own Finn, who can throw a mean fit, so this book has a permanent place in our home now.
