Synopsis

Mouse was mad. Hopping mad. Hare thinks he looks ridiculous, and shows him how to hop properly. But when Mouse hops his way into a mucky puddle, he becomes even madder. His friends show him different ways to be mad, but Mouse can't seem to get it right. Then he finds his very own way, which may be the best of all!

What the critics say

Through playful language and expressive watercolors with colored pencil and ink, this story about anger management proves to be both entertaining and therapeutic. Mouse finds his own way through his ire and, in the process, may help a few youngsters get a handle on their own.
- School Library Journal

The whole sequence is an absolute romp with colourful comic-cartoon style illustrations which children will thoroughly enjoy.
- Chris Brown, The School Librarian

It is important that young children are encouraged to express their anger and frustration appropriately as they learn to cope with very strong and powerful emotions. This book could be used as a tool to support very young children who may have anger that they need to express from time to time.
- Martine Horvath, EYE
