This can be a great book to introduce for when we are learning about different emotions and how are the right ways to deal with them, it will help the kids understand more about them and that they aren't bad. We just have to show them what we can do to help them.

What is it with books about dealing with anger that encourages children to run away? I encountered the same thing in Molly Bang's n  When Sophie Gets Angry--Really, Really Angry...n and I think it's just as problematic here.

Dealing with anger is important, but I'm not sure how helpful this book is going to be. Yes, anger can be felt for many reasons, but quite a few of the instances in this book seem to point to different emotions (unless this particular bunny rabbit just gets angry over everything); jealousy, embarrassment, disappointment, and frustration are all possible alternatives for some of the scenarios presented in this book. But the bunny simply gets angry. (She's drawn with a perpetual scowl, which is rather off-putting.)

The book also introduces the idea that it's someone else's fault. While that may be true, it's also true that we can't change other people. Saying, "Maybe someone else needs to be different. Maybe someone needs to be nicer to me, or to stop being unfair," runs the risk of having the child take no responsibility for their feelings. It's always easier to blame someone else.

I'm sure there must be some good books about helping children deal with anger, but I've yet to find one. I've read two so far that encourage children to run away when they feel anger, potentially putting them at risk.

A book you could read to students to help them
Deal with their emotions. At a young age students get into arguments they don't know how to solve. This book would show them what to do.

This book is good for talking about feeling angry. It also talks about ways to deal with their emotions which can be executed in the classroom. If any kids have any problems controlling their anger this book is the one to read to him/her.

This picture book is an excellent book to read to children to help them learn to control their emotions. I love how this book displays the difference between feeling and doing in regards of emotions. It gives examples of what can make you angry and some coping skills to calm you down.

Explains anger, what to do when you're angry, and types of things that make us feel angry. Well written and simple for all kids, definitely could be a conversation starter.

This book talks about ways children can use to deal with their anger. It uses a bunny for the main character and shows her in different situations in which she is angry and then talks about how she could react to that situation. It's a good tool to use for students having trouble knowing how to deal with their anger but only for younger students in grades k-2.
