Rating: - The Goodnight Caterpillar
As a mother of a 9 year-old ADHD daughter, I found this story to be an excellent way to teach relaxation techniques. My daughter is always rushing through her homework assignments, chores and school projects. This unique story teaches children to slow down and use the same relaxation and stress management techniques for their everyday projects and life experiences as the turtle used in this story. I find it so difficult to select good stories for my daughter that will keep her focus and attention. "The Goodnight Caterpillar" has all the qualities that I look for. The delightful water color illustrations, excellent choice of vocabulary, and captivating story line is presented in an easy to read format that my daughter loves to hear over and over again. This book would make a great gift for any child as it teaches important life skills.

My 2 sons ( and I ) enjoy this story every single night. They never get tired of hearing it and I never get tired of reading it. I have a 7 year old who suffers from severe food allergies and deals with a lot of stress on a daily basis, this book has done wonders for him. Not only is it a great bedtime story that helps them relax ( me too... ) it teaches a lesson that they can use throughout their lives. I highly recommend this book to every parent. Your child WILL love it, and you will too.
Rating:  - I prefer A Boy and A Bear
This is kind of cheesy. I prefer Lori Lite's "A Boy and A Bear" (book) or Indigo Ocean Dreams for Children (CD).
Rating: - Extremely Effective Relaxation Bedtime Story!
First I will begin by listing the programs/CD's/books that I have purchased from Lite Books. 4 books: A Boy and a Bear, The Affirmation Web, A Boy and a Turtle and The Goodnight Caterpillar plus 5 audio CDs: Indigo Dreams, Indigo Ocean Dreams, Indigo Dreams: Garden of Wellness, Indigo Teen Dreams and Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation plus: Children's Stress Awareness Curriculum Designed for Youth Education.
Next I will say "THEY ARE ALL AMAZING!" For 9 years I worked as an advocate for children in a homeless shelter for women and children. I was constantly challenged with finding resources that were short, effective, and held the attention of the children. I was able to find resources but not all in one spot, I had to piece a little of this and a little of that to reach a fully rounded program that worked. The tools that Lori Lite created within each book and each CD offer short, highly effective programs that hold the attention of children. And best of all it is a package deal! You do not have to pull from any other program because the tools that she gives you are all you need. I am now an HHP and use the books and CD's when working with children of any age to simply give them powerful tools that they can use in daily life and hopefully carry into teen and adult hood. In my opinion Lite Books offer the best resources available to the health and wellness of children on the market. Within my own life I use the CD's as a nightly staple within the bedtime process of my children. They have not been able to stay awake long enough to finish even one of the stories on the CD yet. That is how relaxing the CD's are. For myself I have to stay sitting up when tucking them in and listening with them because if I get comfortable I am waking up in the middle of the night still in my kid's room! During daylight hours and when my children are well rested I have worked each session on the CD's with them from beginning to end. Now when they are feeling overwhelmed, frightened, angry etc... I will see them use the techniques they have learned through Loris programs, they move quickly from the negative feeling to a positive approach and positive result.
Lite Books offers professional and friendly customer service, with great shipping time. I am so grateful to have found this amazing resource and look forward to being one of their strongest professional advocates as well as personal customers!
