Description

Here comes JoJo. JoJo likes to run FAST!
She is running, running, running down the block.
Uh-oh! JoJo falls down and bumps her chin.


When JoJo falls down and hurts her chin, her dad tries to help her boo-boo. But JoJo is scared! Her dad helps her understand that boo-boos aren’t so scary. Boo-Boo! soothers toddlers fears about small cuts and scrapes. 

Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers about helping toddlers with minor injuries.

Written with simple language and reflective of children’s realities, the Terrific Toddlers series is based on understanding of the developmental level of young toddlers.  Titles include All Mine!Boo-Boo!, and Bye-Bye!.

From the Note to Parents and Caregivers:

We know they’re low to the ground, but with their high energy levels and fearless explorations, toddlers sure are prone to injury. Most such injuries are minor—cuts, scrapes, and scratches—so we adults just want to clean and bandage them quickly, with a minimum of fuss. If only our toddlers would let us!

But to a toddler, even a small cut, scrape, or scratch is a big deal. After all, toddlers don’t yet know that the injury will repair itself. It’s an assault on their growing, but as yet fragile, sense of wholeness. They think they’re broken forever.

And sometimes, no matter how uncomfortable the injury, toddlers are likely to consider the cure to be worse. “No Band-Aid!”* But once a toddler has come to understand that Band-Aids are not the enemy, the Band-Aid becomes the cure-all. Covering the wounded area makes the toddler feel whole again.
Here comes JoJo. JoJo likes to run FAST!
She is running, running, running down the block.
Uh-oh! JoJo falls down and bumps her chin.

The best of this batch, Jojo has fallen and hurt her chin. She needs her boo boo bandaged. Daddy has to help and try to make the crying stop and an unwilling child willing to be cleaned and doctored. Overall a nice book with ideas that work for parent and child.

I really like these books! They teach both parents and kids how to deal with hard situations. My 1 year old son doesn't quite understand what a boo boo is yet but this will be helpful when he is a bit older. The pictures are simple and relatable, the tips for parents and caregivers in the back are an added bonus. This would be a great gift for grandparents or new parents!

Sounds like a toddler when they get an owie! I liked this book. I think it would be a good one for a child with a boo-boo. Or even without one- to be prepared. Illustrations were cute! I liked the daddy with the band aide on his nose! Cute!

This is the second book that I have read in this series, which has the backing of the American Psychological Association. It is a simple read aloud/picture book. A little girl falls and her father helps her by acknowledging her fear and, at her pace, patching her up with a band-aid. This story will be reassuring to toddlers as it reminds them that boo-boos can be fixed. There is a very helpful section for parents at the back. An excellent choice for a home or day care library.

A book from the Terrific Toddler Series and the American Psychological Association. A cute book about Boo Boos for toddlers and parents that explain that we all get boo boos and sometimes they hurt and can even be scary. Jo Jo runs and falls like so many toddlers and daddy helps with kisses, cleaning the wound, and silly band-aides. Very cute, colorful illustrations and easy to read to young children. You can easily have discussions with them about if they have ever had a boo-boo.......did it hurt....did you cry? They also give suggestions for parents: Acknowledge their fear; Keep calm; and Use distractions.
