Big Feelings · To read aloud
Optional - leave blank to keep Tumble.
This is for you to read aloud. One line lights up at a time. Read it, then tap the arrow. At each fork, ask your child and tap the path they pick.
Tumble the little bear was building a tall block tower. Up, up, up it grew!
He set the last block on top. But wobble, wobble... CRASH! The whole tower fell down.
A big, hot feeling roared up inside Tumble, like a lion. Grrr!
Tumble stopped. He took a big, slow breath. Iiin... and ouuut.
He did it again. Iiin... and ouuut. The hot roar began to melt away.
Soon Tumble felt calm and cool, like a soft cloud.
The blocks lay all around. Tumble looked at them and took a deep breath.
“I can try again,” he said.
Tumble picked up a block. This time he went slow and careful.
He built a little tower. But near the top... it began to wobble again!
Tumble made the bottom big and wide, like strong feet.
Then he built up, up, up. The wide bottom held it all. It did not wobble at all!
The tower stood tall and proud. It was even taller than Tumble!
Very, very gently, Tumble placed one more block on top. So careful!
It stayed! The tower was the tallest one ever. “I did it!” cheered Tumble.
Big feelings come and go, like clouds. And you can always try again. 🐻
