This review is from: Sometimes I Get So Angry! Anger Management for Everyone (Hardcover)

Written by David A Anderson, Ph. D. and illustrated by Paul Sirimongkhon, Sometimes I Get So Angry: Anger Management For Everyone is a picturebook about controlling negative emotions before they lead to harm. The text and wildly vibrant illustrations alternate between different types of bad temper, followed by things to think about to help one feel better. Enthusiastically recommended for families as a means of teaching children how to master destructive impulses from the earliest possible age. "Sometimes I get so mad I could hurt someone! / But then I take my thoughts outside and get some exercise and fresh air and I feel much better. // Sometimes I get so bothered I could hate a group of people! / But then I imagine myself as a member of that group, and I begin to understand their behavior, and I see that my enemies could be my friends."
