An uplifting story about confronting big emotions from the author of The Night Box, stunningly illustrated by Julia Sarda. TweetReviews
I liked when leaves got bigger, bigger in the city until he told his bad mood to go that way, and then it was different. The whole city was nice and bright again.
I did not like that he got so angry. We should always talk about our feelings.
Didnt make sense how he can push more than 5 cars.. Why was everyone smiling? haha!
I liked it because it taught me about learning to control my emotions.
I liked this book because teaches us not to allow our bad mood to take over as they often make thhings wose
it was a good book
I loved it and it was really inspiring to get out of a bad mood and always have a positive mood even if you've had a bad or happy day.It was about looking after other people and your self and it tells you to always have a positive Attitude
Henry enjoyed this book about ed sweeping up all the leaves and people and buses and bikes in his bad mood.
I thought the funny part was funny because when he got in a bad mood he swept up all the cars and buses with the leaves.
I loved this book!
Lovely book about emotions
A lovely book that explores the feeling of anger and how it can build, meaning you don’t notice what is going on around you. The illustrations are beautiful and I loved the front cover with the shiny leaves.
This is another book that highlights the importance of sharing and dealing with emotions that otherwise would be suppressed and eventually cause bigger problems. It has wonderful illustrations to show how your emotions can control your actions and how you can look back and regret what you did in times of hysteria. A lot of children I have taught have struggled to control their emotions, acted in ways that they eventually regret and then begin to move forward in a more controlled way. This book might allow them to see that you need to think about how you feel, understand that first and then act/speak when you are of sound mind. Again, all ages would benefit from this metaphor as it is easy at times for everyone to act on heightened emotions.
I found this story was a wonderful explanation of feelings of frustration and anger that can be difficult to understand and explain as a child or even to a child. It has lovely illustrations that add a lovely element of movement to the story.
I liked this book, but it was not my favourite
