About the book: ". . .[E]motions like anger, jealousy, and frustration may be repressed or ignored. This book's special value is in picturing situations that produce anger. It describes children's inner and outer struggles as they try to control their feelings and work them out in ways that are acceptable to themselves and others."

Great book to help children deal with situations that make them mad. A variety of scenarios are discussed and why it bothers the child. The book is good because the children can relate to the pics and see they are not alone. I only take off a half star because the song at the end is kind of silly, but I guess that's the point. But it's a little dated. ( )
