This book has been SO helpful when dropping our 2 year old son off at school. We used to tell him that Mommy and Daddy would always come back, but he would still cry hysterically every time we left. After giving him this book for Christmas, he has a better understanding of Bye Bye time...it's wonderful! Now, we follow the book and do a "squeeze, smooch" and say "See you later alligator. After a while crocodile" and there have not been any tears. He loves the book so much we usually read it twice. I just ordered 5 more books from this series as we are heading into the hitting phase...hopefully we will get the same amazing results from those books as we have from Bye Bye Time. I definitely recommend this book for anyone whose children has separation issues.

My 2.5 year-old daughter had separation issues when we dropped her off at preschool, which prompted me to buy this book. The author does a fantastic job of playing down the drama of saying bye-bye by showing parents a routine:1. Hugs2. Kisses3. Parent says "See you later, alligator!"4. Child says "After while, crocodile!"After a couple of days of reading it at bedtime, we were able to establish our own "Bye-Bye Time" routine, and she *magically* stopped crying. The illustrations wonderfully support the story and my daughter still enjoys reading the book from time to time.

I really love this book! It captured the interest of my toddler (which is not common). It is simple, and to the point. I love that it says things like "if you get sad, it's ok to cry"--something we all need to be reminded of instead of trying to dismiss the feelings ("you're ok"), which only seems to make things escalate. But it also gives coping strategies like take a deep breath or find somewhere quiet to sit and snuggle. My favorite part, though, is that it tells the toddler that when YOU'RE ready, you can go and play (emphasis mine). I just love that it gives the toddler all that autonomy they yearn for in a situation where they are bound to feel pretty powerless. This is a great book for leaving with a babysitter or just leaving a toddler to play independently when you get some things done around the house. I am still amazed at how well this worked for us!

My daughter loves Verdick's books - this was purchased in advance of our first preschool day, it helped us instate the "see you later alligator after while crocodile" into our goodbye regimen, and my daughter really enjoys the book. I also like the parent "tips" section at the end of all the Verdick books. Naptime has become another staple in our house.

I love this whole serious of books! We first ordered "Nap Time" when our toddler was having a difficult time with naps. It worked like a charm! Then a few months later we started having difficult drop offs at school in the morning. I jumped online to see if there were more books like "Nap Time" and found the whole series! We bought them all! I love this book about "Bye Bye Time"! I read it to my son several times and then started using the same routine in the book for our drop offs. Within a week things were much better!

My son isn't in daycare, but started having dramatic anxiety when my husband would leave for work. After reading this book for 2 weeks, we now have the routine of 'Bye Bye Time' and it works really well. No more hysterical crying when he walks out the door!

The main character of the book is sad about being dropped off for school, and this book goes through some things she does to feel better. Reminder that it isn't for always, and parents always come back to get us. Liked that this was about a little girl being dropped off and picked up by her Daddy.

I really love all these books. My 2 1/2 yr old really likes the bright pictures and has me read them over and over. Great lessons taught. Few words on pages and you can even add your own and talk about each page. In this book, the dad drops off the girl somewhere, so it is cute for our daughter to connect with dad in this way.
