Cuando Me Siento Enjoado/When I Feel Angry (Spanish Edition) (First Feelings (Spanish/English)) (English and Spanish Edition)
by Child’s Play, Paula Bowles (Illustrator)
A little child shares about how they feel when they are angry. Sometimes they just want to throw things and break things and knock things down. But if they take a minute to breathe, and think of nice things, then they feel better and they can let go of their anger.
This is such an adorable book! I love the cute illustrations and the sweet little monster characters. However, I wish that we could see the angry character apologizing for their bad behavior at the end. They just go back to playing with their friends and it’s sort of implied that they must have apologized, but I think it would be a better lesson for the reader to see the angry child making things right after their temper tantrum is over.
