A very nice book on energy. Enough information but not so much as to overwhelm a child. I might quibbble over some of the information in the back as it says solar energy does not produce pollution and this glosses over the production of panels and their disposal. All in all though, very good.

This story is a perfect story of what it looks like and feels like to have really strong emotions. The simple pictures with overemphasized and powerful use of color will help the youngest children what it feels like to be angry. The vocabulary in this book does a wonderful job of describing how Sophie is feeling. The illustrations help add to the meaning and emotion of the story. This is a great book for young children to start the conversation of what anger feels like and the appropriate way to deal with anger.… (mais)

When Sophie Gets Angry--Really, Really Angry is a great story for young students to relate to. It focuses on the importance of sharing and finding ways to "cool off" when something unexpected happens. At the start of this story Sophie is playing with her toys and her sister takes one. This causes Sophie to become ever so angry. She starts to run away and as she goes she finds calmness in the spaces around her. She returns to her home and her family is happy to see her. This story can also be used for descriptive writing. When Sophie gets angry she is referred to as a volcano, and it is written in the shape of a volcano. A great story that can be used for many things.… (mais)

Easy to relate to for young children in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. In this story, Sophie has a hard time sharing with her sister, which causes her to get very ANGRY! Eventually, Sophie is able to calm herself down in a special way. Illustrations depict Sophie's angry emotions with red, orange, and yellow, making it appealing and relatable. This book is a great tool for teaching young children how to deal with strong emotions.
