This book is great for toddlers, who have a difficult time understanding emotions. It is simple and we act out each page.

I received the set of these books at my baby shower and wasn't "wowed" by them. But as my son grew and took an interest in books, he absolutely loved them! He's 3.5 now and still loves them. These books are a great way to open the discussion about feelings. As we're reading this book, we often make up new stories about how or what we can do if we feel angry. Great books, thank you!

What a great book for helping kids deal with emotions. Kids who are able to recognize their feelings and know how to express them are much better prepared in the long run to cope in difficult situations. My two boys, 2 and 3 love this book, so do I, and I plan to get the whole series for them.

Toddlers love acting out this book that shows them things to do when they are mad--like "shake it out." It helps them gradually learn that there are alternatives to tantrums and hitting others. The words fit a familiar tune to help it stick in their heads. And its cardboard pages can take rough handling.

Brilliant--on the surface, a young toddler thinks its a fun book. when my toddler gets upset, I simply ask "are you mad? what can we do?" and then we act out one or two of the examples in the rhyming book. My toddler feels heard, understood and so happy to go through it with me.

Definitely not worth the money. Nothing clever or charming or interesting to catch a small child's interest.
