Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Recommended by 5 sources.
“Spare, rhythmic sentences and large, expressive pictures move quickly through Max’s tantrum, imagined voyage, and quiet return. As a read-aloud, it rewards dramatic voices and physical play; the illustrations carry emotional weight so much that many plot shifts are implied rather than explained. That compression makes the book vivid and immediate but can feel abrupt or unsettling if you wanted gentle reassurances or literal cause-and-effect. Caregivers expecting slow, step-by-step emotional coaching may find the tone terse and interpretive.”
