Sometimes Andy gets angry when he loses. Sometimes he gets so angry in class when he doesn’t know the answer to a question.

Sometimes Andy gets angry when Bobby takes his toys … or when Sierra won’t stop singing!

Sometimes he gets angry when his parents raise their voices.

4 Stars

Andy Gets Angry by Author Mike Masse provides some easy techniques for children to use to channel their anger, and relieve their feelings of anxiety. To say this is a children’s book though, is a stretch. It’s more of a ‘discussion’ book for parents and children to share. Or, possibly, for educators to recommend when students are displaying anger in the classroom.

As a grandmother of five, I’ve definitely seen my share of childhood and adolescent anger. I appreciate the ease of the technique Mr. Masse teaches here, and enjoyed the lovely illustrations.
