Kai is building a tower all the way up to Papa's pencil mark. Eight blocks, nine blocks... wag, wag, CRASH! When Biscuit's happy tail knocks it flat, Kai's mad feeling is bigger than the room. Capes on! Super Nova knows four superpowers that make big feelings smaller, and one more that makes towers taller. A calm-down story with a song to sing, for every little hero who feels things big.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
