Helps parents explain important things in life to children

Books that deal with real-life issues are among my favorites -- especially books that deal with a child's frustration over not getting what they want when they want it! What parent hasn't experienced this situation?

The book, "I Want It Now!" tells the story of a boy who dreams of getting a new bicycle, but becomes angry and disappointed when his parents cannot afford one. This story shows the importance of family and being together.

MyParenTime.com recommends this book -- the illustrations are colorful and childlike, and the rhyming phrases define an important moral. For me, the story was a little long, but it discusses a situation that I'm sure every parent and child has experienced at one time or another.

With his birthday fast approaching, Billy wants nothing more than the awesome bike he sees in a catalog. However, with his father having been laid off and his mother working two jobs, they simply cannot afford such an expensive gift. Upon hearing the word "no," Billy flies into a rage. However, when he talks to his parents about it later, he learns to compromise, realizing spending time with his family means more to him than a bike. His parents also promise to save what they can to someday buy the bike.

The touching story shows that some wishes and "gimmies" may not come true, yet the love that families share is the best gift of all.
