Rusty Takes Turns helps young children learn one of the most important preschool skills—taking turns. As Rusty discovers that waiting can be hard, children practice simple, positive language like, “My turn,” “Your turn,” and “Can I have a turn next?”

Through a relatable story and everyday playground moments, little learners build patience, friendship, and the words they need to solve problems with confidence.

Perfect for preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, speech therapy, and home.

• Turn taking and patience
