I am a Mom with a very sensitive 5 year old. I have trouble expressing my anger and have struggled teaching my son a healthy way to express his. I don't want him to just hold it in like me because that isn't healthy, but there have been times when his anger is so explosive I wonder how healthy that is as well. The book has helped us both. It has given us both a healthy way of expressing and diffusing our anger.
The illustrations in this book are fabulous. My son laughs at all the funny expressions on the Octopus's face as he learns to tighten and then relax his muscles. He had me read the book twice last night.
THANK YOU for this book!

I am a graduate student in clinical psychology that works primarily with children. I am also an aunt and a collector of childrens books. I have purchased three copies of this book to date. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is appealing to children, and the book functions as a way to teach relaxation and helps to soothe the child.
I added this book to my own collection, and have purchased two as gifts for my niece (age 5) and cousin (age 6). They both love the book. My sister in law has told me that her daughter was having difficulties with tantrums, and after a few weeks of reading, is using the techniques with her daughter to help her relax before a tantrum escalates. The book is fun, a great story, and an appropriate way to help children identify and manage anger.
I highly recommend this book.
