ADORABLE! I loved the way the book flowed with the rhymes in between, it makes for a great read-along and the children will easily remember the progression of the story. The illustrations are beautiful and unique, I like them and they fit with the story.

It’s an engaging book that can be read with the child to address the feelings of anger and how to manage those feelings. The alliteration in the book is fun to read, the artwork is well done, and story is very creative. Great book.
