Angry Ninja is a nice book that's shows the emotion of anger and how we can learn to control it with a 1, 3, 10 technique.

I think books that show how to control emotions are great and with this one including the 1, 3, 10 technique it is a good way to help children to learn about managing anger without realising that they are learning it as they'd just remember the fun story. I've not heard of this technique before but it's simply thinking of 1 word, breathing for 3 breaths and counting to 10. We get to see angry ninja make the most of this when he get stuck angry at his sister throughout the book and it's nice to see how it help she him.

The illustrations are colourful and fun with each of the characters being a ninja of a different colour. It's great how we get to see the emotions clearly and at times exaggerated as it helps the children see how the technique changes how angry ninja feels and shows them when they could use it too.

This is a brilliant book that children will love and is good to learn a coping technique for anger too.

You Won't Be Angry For Long

This book is an amazing book because it shows that something so simple could help you child with anger. It sounds simple but it will be hard for them to get use to doing. I highly recommend this book for all children who gets angry. You Won't Be Angry For Long I highly recommend this book for adults who get angry.
Angry Ninja is angry at his sister for not asking before using his jumping rope. He got very angry and it exploded. Later Positive Ninja went to play with Angry Ninja and He saw that Angry Ninja was about to explode his anger. He took him aside to talk. What did he say? Did it help him? Did it help you? Reading/listening is the best way to find out the words of Positive Ninja. Happy read/listening!!!!!

Great Strategy for Learning Self-control

I loved this book!!! ❤️ I loved the strategy presented to help children manage their anger.

My daughter, 4, also loved this book. She said she liked how Angry Ninja learned how to be patient and not be as mad.

My boys, 8 & 7, both said they liked the 10+3+1 strategy presented in the book. My 7 year old said he thinks it is something he could use. ❤️

Helpful, fun read for kids

I read this book with my 2 boys (ages 7 & 9) and my daughter (age 4). It is easy to understand with fun, colorful, illustrative pictures that had an important message regarding anger. My 7 year old is autistic & he was able to demonstrate from the examples in the book. I hope this will help him out in the future. Looking forward to reading more ninja books!

This a good book that kids can learn from. This is a book about a boy who gets upset quickly all the time. His friend tries to help by giving him advice on things he can do to control his anger. I would use this book in the classroom when a student is having a bad day. This would be like a small guide or reminder that we must control ourselves no matter what happens.

How to Deal with Anger

I've read and heard about other methods to deal with anger, but I like this one the best. Not only does it calms you down, but it also gives instructions on how to appropriate express your anger.

Angry Ninja

I loved how positive ninja explained to angry ninja what he did to help himself when he got angry. Angry ninja tried breathing and counting to control his anger when his sister ate the last piece of cake. He couldn’t believe it worked.

It’s a good start to helping kids manage their emotions. It would be the kind of book I would put in the children’s collection so adults would read it too. ;)
