Bang, M. (1999). When sophie gets angry, really really angry. New York: Scholastic.
This book is a classic tale of how a young girl learns to deal with her anger. Sophie is forced to give her sibling a toy that she was playing with and becomes angry. When the sibling trips her while she is trying to get away, she becomes infuriated and has to find her own way with dealing in her emotions. At first she screams, and as the book progresses, she resorts to a more tranquil environment to calm down, until she is ready to return home, where everyone there still loves her!
The illustrations in this book are awesome!! I am drawn to bold illistrations and this book definately hits the visual learner and reader! The use of bright colors and thick lines makes the reader want to look further than the cover of this book!
This book helped prove to me that it is easy to address issues such as emotions and feelings in children's literature when you use content that the children can understand and relate to! Great book!
