My kids favorite book

This is one of our families favorite books, this one is toned down for young readers to be able to read it. The original has lots of clever rhymes, I found that as the kids were reading it they wanted to put in the words from the original book.

Mother of 2 girls

This is a beautifully written and eye-catching book that deals with a very real issue of being a "hot head" and saying you're sorry. Both my girls (aged 18 months and 5 years) love this book and want me to read it over and over! I often substitute their names for "Maddie" when they are acting like her! Perfect for teaching little ones to think before they act and to consider other's feelings.

Mad Maddie Maxwell

This book is scary. I thought it was for my daughter, but when I read it, I discovered it had lessons for me. What a terrific story and teaching tool.Any parent would benefit from having this wonderful book in their children's library. The art work is adorable and intriguing, but the story is compelling and stimulating. I hope other parents find this book as encouraging and comforting as I did. This is a great model for other teaching stories that can help parents teach important attitudes and behaviors to our children. Thank you Stacie.

A keeper

We have 7 grandchildren and they all are a handful. This book was an instant hit and now they are saying they are sorry, but not feeling any shame. The story opened up a whole new world of communication with them. Thanks for a great gift.

My daughter loves this book.

I am the mother of a firecracker of a four year old who is just like the title character. Already she is talking about "saying sorry" like Mad Maddie. She repeats the frolicing rhymes along with me as I read. And I don't even mind reading it again and again (and that's saying something!). Books with a moral don't have to be humdrum. The illustrations are endearing too. This book's a keeper.
