The Marshmallow Test

Dad offers to his daughter a marshmallow and a choice: Enjoy the treat now -- or -- wait 15 minutes for "something even better." Will she be able to wait? What could be better than a marshmallow?

You don t have to wait to find out. Read the book and fall in love with the adorable illustrations by amazing talent, Sasha Roberson.

Parent Note: The often-difficult concept of telling analog time is made simple in this story, as is the equally important lesson of learning how to wait for a reward.
