The Monster Prince throws a tantrum to get whatever he wants. But when he doesn’t get everything he wants, he becomes more and more upset, until he gets what he needs: a good snuggle and a good nap.

The Monster Prince teaches children to know the difference between wants and needs, and that sometimes things don’t get better until we get what we need–and sometimes, all it takes is a hug and a nap.
