These poems about anger are so recitable and easy to learn that children could memorize them and use them to alleviate angry feelings. The poems at the beginning are all about anger, but towards the end we get poems that incorporate coping strategies - counting to ten, talking about your troubles with a friend, and thinking cool, calm thoughts. The colourful, comic illustrations add much to the explosive emotions of the poems. Anger is shown as wrong, but also as sometimes inevitable.
