title: Roaring Boring Alice: A Story of the Aurora Borealis
author:  P. K. Merski 
description: PreSchool-Grade 2&ndash;Alice is having a temper tantrum of technicolor proportions. After complaining that her soup is too hot and her peas are too cold, she is sent to her room where she screams until her face turns blue. Suddenly no sound comes from her previously noisy mouth. A strange little person appears to inform Alice that her screaming has changed into lights to color the night sky, thus creating the Aurora Borealis. As she settles down and realizes that her behavior was unacceptable, the room becomes a peaceful green. The illustrations sometimes blend together, muddying the effect, and the uneven rhymes make the story difficult to read aloud. An author's note gives the scientific reason for the Aurora Borealis. Molly Bang's <I>When Sophie Gets Angry&ndash;Really, Really Angry</I> (Scholastic, 1999) does a better job of introducing the complexities of childhood emotions.<I>&ndash;Kristine M.
