Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Sometimes When I'm Mad Read-along ebook
Deborah Serani · 2024
74/100
👍 Worth It
Written by a board-certified psychologist and given a Kirkus 'GET IT' verdict, this picture book on anger management earns its clinical credibility with clear coping language, diverse representation, and a practical caregiver section. The 2024 listing appears to be a repackaged reissue rather than new material, but the underlying book is genuinely well-done.
