librarybonanza 's review for:

When Miles Got Mad by Abbie Schiller, Sam Kurtzman-Counter
3.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade
Emotions: Anger

After Miles' baby brother accidentally breaks Miles' model airplane, Miles gets really, really mad. In the mirror he sees a big, red monster that helps Miles talk through his anger. As he talks about why he is angry, the monster slowly disappears. In the end, Miles is much calmer and everything turns out perfectly in the end. Sure, this utopia is not completely realistic but it is a good model for talking through your feelings. I also liked the real photograph settings with cartoon people laid on top.
