“A tantrum book that actually helps.”
A Big Feeling in a Small, Familiar Moment
That simple, relatable moment helps little children recognise themselves in the story and makes the big feeling easier to talk about afterwards.
A Story That Teaches a Calming Tool
Instead of only naming anger, the story gives children a concrete strategy they can remember and practise with a grown-up.
Funny Enough to Read Again and Again
That matters, because children learn best from the books they actually want to hear over and over.
Gentle Support for Parents, Too
It turns the book from a one-off story into a useful everyday tool for handling angry moments with calm and consistency.
What other parents think:
“Simple, funny and very useful. My daughter asks for this one often, and she now says ‘1, 2, 3, 4, 5’ when she is upset. It feels like a story first, but it gives us a helpful tool too.”
“My toddler saw himself in Tick Tock. The angry face, the shouting, the throwing — very familiar. I liked that the book does not shame the feeling, but still makes it clear that some behaviours are not okay.”
“The steam made him laugh every time. A lovely balance of humour and reassurance. My little boy giggles at Tick Tock going red, then joins in with the counting page.”
“Great for talking about anger without a lecture. My three-year-old really responded to the line about anger visiting but not staying. That is such a gentle way to explain a big feeling.”
“A strong read-aloud for stormy days. The rhythm works well, the repetition helps, and the book is short enough to use in the middle of a wobble rather than only at bedtime.”
“The advice page is genuinely useful. I bought it for the story, but the parent page at the back was a real bonus. Clear, calm and practical.”
“We’ve read a lot of feelings books. This one sticks. Probably because it is so concrete: tower falls, Tick Tock gets mad, Tick Tock calms down. My son understands it immediately.”
