Mad, Mad Bear! by Kimberly Gee, PICTURE BOOK Beach Lane Books (Simon and Schuster) 2018 $17.99. 9781481449717 

BUYING ADVISORY: PRE K - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Bear is mad because he had to leave the park for a nap before all of his friends, plus he fell on the way home and has to leave his favorite stick outside. So, after pouting and shoving and crying and shouting Bear is able to calm down by taking breaths, pulling himself (and his room) back together and taking a nap. 

Children are being taught to manage their emotions in constructive ways. I loved that bear basically had a tantrum before shifting to a healthier emotion. A great way to introduce a toddler to mindfulness. The mad faces on bear are so great.
