The Angry Monster Within

There is a little angry monster within us that is waiting to jump out each time it is frustrated! It wants to yell, kick and scream! What can we do to help this little monster? This is a story about a little girl who finds a way!

It’s not always easy for our little ones to understand feelings brought upon by frustration. This often leads to temper tantrums. They can feel ashamed after an outburst and may even worry that they are no longer loved. This book gently comforts our children by helping them understand that anger is an emotion that can be calmed and that no matter what, they are always loved.

The book cleverly illustrates anger and tantrums as being the little monster, thereby addressing the behaviour itself rather than the child as a person. As the girl in the book gets frustrated, the monster grows and lashes out. After an episode, the girl then worries that her behavior makes her less lovable. She eventually finds ways to manage her anger. The relatable illustrations capture children's attention showing our little ones that they can calm down the monster and that their parents are there to help.

A great book that kids love to read with parents. The short, easy-to-remember, rhyming text has them reaching for it again and again!
