Children’s Books for Every Occasion: Being Angry
Almost every preschooler gets temper tantrums and at this age, they’re much more manipulative about it too. They know exactly what to say to get our goat. I think we’re in need of an anger management book and When I Feel Angry by Cornelia Maude Spelman, illustrated by Nancy Cote might be the one.
From Booklist:
It’s hard to be a bunny. Sometimes a bunny feels angry–especially if someone is teasing or if Mom is paying more attention to the new baby in the family. But there are things a bunny can do to keep anger from taking over–exercise, rest, cry, or even ask for help. This gentle book puts an adorable bunny in a variety of situations that preschool or grade-school children can relate to. Instead of acting out, the bunny and her friends find constructive ways to deal with their anger.
Come to think of it, this mama needs a reminder too.

You’re welcome Hsien-Hsien. Please check out the new character building series “The Way I Act”, published with Albert Whitman & Co. I’ve had the opportunity to illustrate five of them. They are all written by Virginia Kroll, an award winning author.
