In twelve short chapters, we see different animals in various states of anger. Some try to understand their anger, some try to tame it, while others let their anger overwhelm them. These stories are funny and wry, but also offer a gently profound reflection of the nature of human emotions.

From School Library Journal Gr 2–5—Handsomely produced on thick paper with full-color, expressive illustrations by the popular Parisian illustrator, cartoonist, and graphic artist, this collection of 12 stories is billed as being "funny" and "philosophical," showing that "anger—in all its shapes and sizes—is essential, spirited, and often hilarious." A hyrax is frustrated and angry every evening when the sun sets, despite his yelling until he is hoarse, "Don't set!" A determined elephant attempts to climb a tree even though an inner voice discourages him. He almost reaches the top but trips and falls. "I'm a lost cause," he admits to himself as an enormous bump appears on the back of his head. An earthworm and a beetle argue over which of them is angrier. From his suitcase, a lobster shows a mouse all of the different types of anger he has for sale—from mild irritation to jealousy and fury. The mouse decides to purchase the light blue, transparent melancholy instead. A shrew unsuccessfully tries to make his friend squirrel angry. Ant suggests all sorts of ways that toad can get rid of his anger—blow it away, crush it, forget about it, swallow it, hide it, sing it away, laugh it off, or nurse it. And, when the day comes when all traces of anger seem to have disappeared, the animals don't know what to do and the ant "fears the worst." But when a cricket accidentally kicks Rhinoceros's knee, angry words return and "everyone went home promising themselves a good bout of anger that night." This is not the way that typical American picture books have explored anger for children, and much of the subtle humor and emotional truths will be elusive to them, even with adult intervention. VERDICT More age-appropriate picture books that address the topic are Rachel Vail's Sometimes I'm Bombaloo (Scholastic, 2002), Linda Urban's Mouse Was Mad (HMH, 2009), and Molly Bang's When Sophie Gets Angry—Really, Really Angry (Scholastic, 1999).—Rachel Kamin, North Suburban Synagogue Beth El, Highland Park, IL

A really brilliant book, amazingly illustrated by Marc Boutavant By Tony Ruth A really brilliant book, amazingly illustrated by Marc Boutavant, who's always spectacular, but the writing is really beautiful as well. Truly the best book in our kid's library and we put some effort into our kids' book collection. It's sad, and moody, and very much unlike most other kid's books that we have. Both our girls love it, they are very curious about what each animal is feeling in each different story, they think it's funny that a grasshopper can elbow a rhinoceros and annoy him, and they always want us to read all twelve stories at once (the only downfall of this book is not always being up for an hour of reading) but it's easy to jump around and only read a few at a time.I'm not entirely surprised to see that someone rated this book 1 star as it's a serious departure from most saccharine, reassuring, predictable children's books - which is sadly the majority of what you find at most retailers. If that's your style, this book isn't for you. My father in law is a great guy and he clearly thought this book was crap, so it takes all kinds.Anyway, I'm buying five more copies for all our friends' kids this Christmas. Only criticism is that like 80% of all kids' books every single animal is a dude, even though gender is irrelevant to the stories. Ho hum, not amazing for our girls, but in all other ways wonderful.

0 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The worst children's book I have ever read By jgh Without a doubt the worst children's book I have ever read. 11 stories that make little sense, and are little more than angry rants, followed by the 12th.. a story where anger goes away and all the characters are gloomy and uncomfortable.. until they are able to show anger again.The moral of the book seems to be that, if you are not angry there is something wrong and you should be angry. We have read only 4 of the 12 stories before throwing it in the bin. A friend was also gifted this book, he has done the same. I have no idea what the author was thinking, or how this was ever published.
