Age: Toddler-Preschool
Emotions: Anger
Concept Skill: Colors

Another stellar picture book addition for those hard-to-cope-with emotions. Allie the monster's crayon broke and in a moment, Allie was suddenly "furious, fuming, frustrated, and so, so, soooo ANGRY!" A boy tries to help Allie calm down, encouraging different forms of stress relief and calming techniques. Along the way, she gradually winds down as we see her zipping out of layers of anger, starting with a blood red and gradually going into a calmer palette until a girl emerges ready for a hug from her brother. White backgrounds and vibrant colors make this an excellent read-aloud for classrooms and storytime.
