[Kevin Evans · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book can be used to teach students with emotinal issues stratagies to cope with their anger. Some of the examples are to stay away from people until you calm down. Also, I thought it did a good job of showing that you should tell others when your angry, but you should never hit or be mean toward someone for it. It is a good informational and social story type of book.

This book is all about being angry. It explains that there are many things that can make a person angry, but that does not mean it is ok to hit, fight, or scream. There are seveal coping strategies for anger throughout the book.

I used this book in 4th grade, but it can easily be used 3rd/5th. It's a lighthearted book that discusses anger. Anger isn't bad, but how you deal with it could be. It gives children multiple ways to cope with anger! It's a great bridge book to think/feel/do and conflict resolution

I would omit some parts, but overall good for helping little ones recognize and deal with anger.

I learned I can count, get a grown-up to ask for help, or exercise.
