About this story

Nora loves to build: block castles, pillow forts, spoon bridges. But when something goes wrong, her tummy flutters and her mind goes buzzy. Then Grandma gives her a Thinking Cap with four buttons: Stop. Think. Try. Check. A story about calm problem-solving, with a My Problem-Solver page, discussion questions and a Super Problem-Solver award. For ages 5-8.

  • Problem — something that needs to be fixed
  • Solve — to find the answer to a problem
  • Flutter — a quick, fluttery feeling inside
  • Buzzy — a jumbled, busy feeling in your head
  • Stop — to pause before you act
  • Think — to use your mind carefully
  • Try — to have a go at something
  • Check — to look again and see if it worked
