[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Young children experience such raw emotions--reading these poems prove that. Some of the poems are quite heart breaking but also very eye opening for an adult who works with children. This is a wonderful collection of poems which allow you a peak into the mind of an angry child.

[April Helms · Rating 4 out of 5]

These poems and illustrations were done by children, reflecting anger and other strong feelings. Children will enjoy this book, for it not only reflects typical feelings, but feelings through the eyes of their peers. Perhaps this can be used to encourage budding writers, or those who need a vent themselves.

I think this book is like a vent machine for children to be able to relate to. It gives different situations and circumstances as to why someone might be angry about something. I think the art is better than the situations that make this book about anger. I would not recommend this book to anyone unless they're trying to find an escape from anger.
