Wonderful!

As a mother of two, and child psychologist, I highly recommend this book. My 3 year old daughter loves it. The first time I read it to her, she laughed uproariously while also seeming somewhat shocked. Basically, the book normalizes the experience of a kid's anger, making it safe, o.k., and offering a positive way to picture calming down. I think my daughter feels less guilty about getting angry, and realizes other kids feel the same way sometimes. Now she reads the book outloud (having basically memorized it) and uses lots of animated voices and gestures.A total hit for us!

Kids really respond to this book.

I read this book to my 4-year-old son who was absolutely riveted by it. He asked me to read it to him time and again. It's the first book he learned to "read" (the way 4-year-olds read -- he memorized it and then read it aloud). He then brought it to nursery school and read it to his class.
