When a little caterpillar climbs into Rabbit's hole one day, his friendly voice and silly pranks sound loud and scary from outside. In life, big noises and big feelings are real, but there are loved ones, a deep breath, and even laughter to help us explore them.

Parents, here are 4 powerful ways to connect with your little one during the story: 1) Make your voice sound like a tiny caterpillar and a scary monster. 2) Get close and breathe with your little one so they can experience how deep breathing rhythms feel and sound like. 3) Pretend to blow bubbles with your child. 4) Repeat the mantra "This feeling of anger won't last. It will go away, and I love you."
