Daddy, do I really need to brush my teeth? Mommy, can I have the red shoes I want? Sometimes kids have trouble understanding what they need. It can be difficult for children to grasp the concept of how true needs and wants relate to them. That's why I've written my Needs and Wants duet, to help little minds grab onto their true needs and wants. Meant for educational purposes, but still an enjoyable light and colorful read, What Does Joe Need?, explains how needs and wants can be similar, but not the same. It follows Joe as he tries to make the best decisions for his needs. You may also want to check out, Chip and Skip Need Each Other, which explains the importance of having what you need.
