Sometimes I'm Bombaloo (bkshelf) (Scholastic Bookshelf)Sometimes I'm Bombaloo (bkshelf) (Scholastic Bookshelf) by Rachel Vail
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.27
Great book about learning how to manage your emotions. Narrated by a child, the voice and feelings are authentic and raw. The little girl's tantrum is portrayed pretty credibly and its resolution is handled with humor and kindness. The illustrations are fun too!
No Matter WhatNo Matter What by Debi Gliori
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $0.01
Sweet story about unconditional love with darling illustrations. I also like that the main characters are only identified as "Large" and "Small" rather than "Mommy" or "Son/Daughter" -- this lets you interpret things according to your own situation.
