G.This is a really wonderful book for children. It talks about a young girl who gets in a fight with a sibling and shows how she handles the situation. First her sister grabs here Gorilla, and Sophie trips over a truck and becomes really upset. The author incorporated metaphors such as "Sophie is a volcano, ready to explode." This was my most favorite page of the book. After Sophie gets upset she goes on a long walk, climbs in a tree and cools off. After she cools off she went home and things were fine between her and her family.

H. This is a really good book to use with younger children because it gives them an example of how to act when they get into an argument with a family member. The best thing to do is to leave the house and cool off. The illustrations were very bold and colorful. The illustrations look like paint, with bright vibrant colors.

I.I might use this book when talking about feelings. It shows a great example of a young girl who gets in a fight with her sibling, like many children do and how to manage anger. I know that when i was a child i would throw tempertantrums and did not know how to manage my anger. I think that many young children often have these tantrums i felt the book was very realistic.
