I'm Mad - Paperback

by Elizabeth Crary (Author), Jean Whitney (Illustrator)

This series recognizes that children are entitled to their feelings even when their behavior needs to be corrected. It acknowledges specific feelings and offers children several ways to deal with them. Each book features a choose-your-own-adventure format, and shows what different outcomes of choices might be--allowing children to back up and try another solution if they don't like the outcome, or to try a variety of choices to see how each might turn out.

When rain cancels a long-awaited picnic, Katie decides to be mad all day. Readers help her find other ways to express herself, as she moves on to fill the afternoon with fun and laughter.
