Description
This monstrously fun companion to the bestselling classic Go Away, Big Green Monster! shows kids how to calm down with more than ten interactive peekaboo pages. Big Red Monster is angry! Turning the pages reveals colorful illustrations of different parts of the cranky creature's face--from two mean green eyes to a big thundery loud mouth--as he gets increasingly upset. We can help him calm down by taking deep breaths--in and out--until even his yellow-and-orange firecracker hair disappears. This ingenious, interactive book about working through feelings of anger through play, imagination, and breathing deeply feels as fresh and innovative today as Go Away, Big Green Monster! did 30 years ago. Also check out Go Away, Big Green Monster! which has sold over a million copies!
