When I Feel Angry is part of a series of books written by a child psychologist to help children identify and understand their emotions. We have others in the series, including When I Miss You, When I Feel Scared, and When I Care About Others, but the book about anger is the one I turn to most often. The text talks about anger in a non-judgmental fashion, speaks matter-of-factly about several situations that could reasonably make a child angry, describes what the emotion itself feels like, and mo...more
This is a great book to read when a class is discussing emotions/feelings. It goes into reasons why we get upset and that these feelings are perfectly acceptable as long as we are not harming ourselves. It also describes strategies we can use to make ourselves feel better when we are angry so that we can lead healthier, and more balanced lives. The pictures are entertaining and can relate to a child's daily life.
This book would be good for a classroom discussion about being angry and how the students feel and deal with it. This book is also a good one when learning coping skills. This books exposes many different ways to cope with anger.
“Anger is a strong, hot feeling,” the bunny-protagonist explains to us, in this book geared for three to seven year olds. Indeed, anger is one of those emotions that most of us struggle with into adulthood. When I feel Angry articulates what anger feels like, and what situations provoke it, so that children can better learn to recognize it as a feeling.

"When I feel angry, I want to say something mean, or yell, or hit." Truer, more poignant words are rarely printed outside of scholarly papers geared towards professional psychoanalysts.
What I didn't know before reading this book: if I get angry, I can run, ride my bike, play with my toys or tell somebody about my feelings. When my mom tells me to clean my room, or the teacher picks on me for talking -- when I haven't done anything wrong! -- I can just breathe in and out and...more

April 2010: I thought this book was excellent; however, my almost four-year-old didn't retain a thing. Perhaps it's for older kids? Perhaps it's for kids with an attention span? Perhaps it's for kids who don't like being angry? I don't know why it didn't work for mine.
January 2011 Update: It's sinking in! Perhaps the child just needs to be a little older!

The facial features of the bunnies in this story are great. The illustrator really captures the emotion. This one might be good to read to children to help them understand the emotion of anger and how to deal with it.
Offers some ideas for children on how to handle their anger.

“When I feel angry, I want to say something mean, or yell, or hit. But feeling like I want to is not the same as doing it. Feeling can't hurt anyone or get me into trouble, but doing can." (Bunny from picture book)”
