Description
"Humorous art supports the rhyming verse with bold, eye-catching, thick-lined graphics. Kudos to Knapman and Berger for making it clear that feeling anger—especially at perceived unfairness—is fine; what’s important is finding ways to calm down before a meltdown."—Kirkus Reviews
"Knapman and Berger ... offer standard self-regulation advice by way of their young exemplar: seek out an empathic adult... and try some grounding exercises... While 24-7 equilibrium may not be possible, the creators suggest that knowing it’s within reach can be a big comfort."—Publishers Weekly
"In this charming UK picture book import, our narrator’s cute, unassuming attire... comically mismatches the pure childhood-tantrum wrath of exaggerated downturned eyebrows and a glare so intense it practically burns through the page... The text’s rhyming couplets are smoothly read aloud and make this an ideal choice for a storytime that will have its audience in giggles and maybe inspire some introspection about how to deal with big emotions."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
