When I Feel Angry is part of a series of books written by a child psychologist to help children identify and understand their emotions. We have others in the series, including When I Miss You, When I Feel Scared, and When I Care About Others, but the book about anger is the one I turn to most often. The text talks about anger in a non-judgmental fashion, speaks matter-of-factly about several situations that could reasonably make a child angry, describes what the emotion itself feels like, and most importantly, offers several suggestions for what my daughter can do to handle her anger other than saying something mean, yelling, or hitting. The fact that the illustrations show a bunny rather than a little girl somehow depersonalizes the discussion so that we can talk about managing anger objectively, without making my child feel as though she is in the wrong.
Does it help? I can't speak for my daughter, but it does help me. My daughter is funny, smart, and so verbally precocious that it is easy to forget that she's only four. Four-year-olds, even verbally precocious ones, are still building their tool chests for dealing with anger and other emotional fallout from life's setbacks. This book gives me a way to start helping her.

Looking for a book to read to my little one to help her better understand her anger. She's 3 and the tantrums are frequent. This didn't really cover what I hoped it would, however does go over different reasons why children can feel anger.

"When I feel angry, I want to say something mean, or yell, or hit." Truer, more poignant words are rarely printed outside of scholarly papers geared towards professional psychoanalysts.
What I didn't know before reading this book: if I get angry, I can run, ride my bike, play with my toys or tell somebody about my feelings. When my mom tells me to clean my room, or the teacher picks on me for talking -- when I haven't done anything wrong! -- I can just breathe in and out and let it go. So now, like the bunny protagonist of the book, "When I feel angry, I know what to do!"

This was on my school's pillars of character reading list for responsibility It is a book that helps children understand their feelings of anger and figure out a way for them to respond to those feelings in a responsible way. It was cute and I liked the illustrations of the angry little bunny. I can name several adults that should read this book, too. :)

I think this picture book was the only one I browsed that wasn’t poetry. It did a nice job explaining aspects of the emotion and reactions, including how we may need to blow off our angry steam, get help from someone, or ask people to change their behavior. In the informative/explorative sense, this is a great resource. In my opinion, it does lack a little bit of refinement. I think it could’ve been written/edited/expanded a little bit better. It is still worth checking out though.
It may come across a bit negative since it’s all about anger. You have to look to other books by the same author to cover other feelings.
