Arlington School District Review of The Red Book: What to do when you're Angry
“The Red Book: What to Do When You’re Angry” is a part of a four book series, Colorful Minds: Tips for Managing Your Emotions – Anger, Excitement, Sadness & Nervousness. This is a great book to add to your school library SEL collection. What I really liked about this book is the tips & activities for young children to try to ease their anger like: target practice with paper ball, shout here spot, clear your mind in the clouds, push the buttons workout to exercise your body and mind. I like this book gives many tips to ease anger, but also explains why it important to calm your anger. I looking forward to also purchasing the other books in this series for my school library collection. Book includes: table of contents, glossary, index, little ideas – tips/tricks page, and other list of activities in www.factsurfer.com
SLJ Review of Colorful Minds
This series is like a comforting hug. For young children who might have trouble verbally expressing their feelings or controlling their emotions, this series provides interactive activities to help them understand what they are feeling and how to cope. Each emotion is associated with a color: blue is sad, purple is nervous, etc. In The Red Book, the author supplies a target page to throw paper at and a shout hole as alternative ways to release anger. Breathing and exercise are recommended in a number of the titles, and children are guided through their breathing sessions with tasks such as tracing shapes and blowing away clouds. Parents will appreciate The Yellow Book, which helps kids manage their excitement by doing a scavenger hunt or creating a calming zone. VERDICT: Highly recommended. This series finds so many ways for kids to express themselves in comforting and accepting language.
