Angry Dragon

This book is, in my opinion, a great way to open up discussion with you young child about anger and what it feels like to be mad. It was the perfect book to read to my 3 year old. He was interested because of the dragon (he loves dragon) and he maintained interest because he could relate. It gave up a great chance to describe his feelings when he's mad. And because he has a better way to verbalize his anger, we have less screaming and crying. It's hard to find books for young ones that deal with different emotions. This is a good one for describing what it feels like to have your emotions overpower you. I'd recommend this book for 2 years and up.

This book is about a little boy and his feeling. He has heard his mom says no too many times in his opinion and he loses control. He describes himself as a dragon. He says he feels like the anger is burning inside him and he spits out the worst words ever - "I Hate you". After being left alone for a little while he starts to think about what he's done. His mom and dad hug him and he starts to feel like a little boy again! The book was simple and easy to read. Anger is a problem for lots of children today. This is a great way to bring up the topic and discuss with them how to deal with their emotions This would be a great children's book to read aloud in a classroom. You can discuss with the children what they would do when they get angry and what would make them feel better. I would highly recommend this book for K - 2 grade students
