Customer Reviews

Very helpful in teaching young children to deal with anger and frustration.

I have two boys. I bought this book for my son when he was three. I wanted it to teach him what anger is, some examples of situations which make you feel angry, and appropriate ways of dealing with anger. This book did just that. The book is written in the form of the song "Happy and You Know It" only it's Angry, obviously, and that is how the text goes. Each verse of the song is depicted with a child in a difficult situation. As I read each page to my son (or sang it) I would ask him, "Who is angry in this picture? Why is he angry?" and then the next page would show the resolution, what the child did to deal with their anger. Two examples from the book which I thought were great: One boy is being teased by a friend. His solution is to walk away. The teasing friend looks sad as the boy leaves. Another boy is having trouble building with blocks. His solution is to tell a friend. The friend then helps him build. This book really seemed to help my son understand that anger and frustration are a normal part of life that we need to learn to deal with. We have seen him deal with frustrating situations by actually quoting a line from the book.
