Who knows the best way to be mad?
Bear stomps. Hare hops. Bobcat screams. Mouse? He just can't get it right. But when he finds the way that works for him--still and quiet--he discovers that his own way might be the best of all.
Mouse does not hop, stomp, or roll. Instead, he stands very, very still and takes a deep breath. Bobcat hears the air whistle through his nose, but cannot catch him moving at all. Impressed by such quiet control, his friends decide to give stillness a try.
Hare? He cannot keep his tail from wiggling. When Bear breathes deep, the ground shakes and the trees sway. Hedgehog cannot keep his bristles from bristling. Together they stand for a long time, breathing and trying to be still.
Linda Urban's story about self-expression and managing anger is both sweet and sly, and Henry Cole's cast of animal friends is simply irresistible.
- Social Emotional Learning: Mouse learns the hard way that copying other animals only lands him in mucky mud puddles, from hop-flopping like Hare to tumbling into the muck.
- Identity and Self-Discovery: Hedgehog demonstrates how to tuck in his nose, feet, and hands to form a perfect sphere, showing that every creature has a different way of handling frustration.
- Preschool Storytime: Lively woodland sound effects like splish, splush, and sploosh encourage active participation before everyone winds down for a quiet bath.
- Also by This Author: A Crooked Kind of Perfect, The Center of Everything and Hound Dog True.
