Title: Not what I expected
Review: The book was written for beginning readers and I liked that aspect of the book. Scholastic usually doesn't let me down but it did in this case. The book discusses several ways of dealing with anger that are acceptable in some situations. However, most teachers and parents would agree that the coping strategies suggested aren't the best. I would have hoped that suggestions like, stomp your feet, would have been left out. Furthermore, one idea is to walk away (from a friend) and then on the next page is states to talk to a friend. Which is it? I feel that if young children read the book without discussing the story with an adult that they may come away with inappropriate strategies for dealing with anger.
