Everybody Gets Angry

Emma is a preschooler who gets often gets angry when things don’t go her way. For example, eating ice cream before dinner or a sibling snatching her toy. The author also uses pets and animals like a squirrel to explain everyone gets angry. Emma soon gets over her anger when the cause for the anger is removed or a substitute provided in its place. The only problem I have with the book is that each situation is treated the same. When Emma breaks her grandma’s lamp, her grandma has a right to feel anger. Similarly, when Emma spills grape juice on the white couch, Mom simply cleans it up. I think that children need to understand sometimes an anger response might be justified. We don’t always get over it immediately and feel happy again.

The book is a way for parents and teachers to indicate alternatives and ways to alleviate anger, but there needs to be more discussion of the motivations and reasons behind the anger. Recommended for toddlers and preschoolers.

Have been asked to read this book several times, it is that good.

Was great for my little girl as a bed time story.

My 4 year old grandson is always telling me ‘he’s angry’. I told him everyone gets angry sometimes. Good book for his age group.

Great book! Read it to my 3 yr old granddaughter. She likes me to read it to her almost every single night.

The author made it sound like it was okay for children to be able angry and that they would suddenly be happy again. I would have liked the author to focus more on teaching how not to act in anger rather than promise instant happiness after angry tantrums.

I don’t know what it is about the free short stories for the Kindle app, but they never seem to fully make since to me and are always lacking something. They always cute and the illustrations are always well done, but overall each novel tends to be missing something.

In “Everybody Gets Angry” all you really see is a little girl showing her tale throughout different scenarios that would earn my own children a pop on the bottom. I believe that this story could have been written better, with more details on what makes you feel angry, but also what it takes to calm down in the different situations.

I was disappointed.

This book opens up the subject of anger and other emotions with young children. My daughter enjoyed reading this book to me and was able to describe other emotions after she read the book 2x

I read it to my two year old so that he will learn to manage his emotions early in life, it is relatable for kids and explains well to the kids.

Too short
