When the reader opens the book, the cookie inside is very angry and also annoyed as the reader keeps turning the pages, interrupting its personal time. When the cookie finally realizes the reader isn’t leaving, it explains why its so angry – a really awful yesterday! After cookie able to vent, it realizes that it feels so much better and that maybe the reader is a friend.
Add this to story time – another good selection about feelings and friendship that would make a handy little discussion about listening, about venting anger, about how to process when you have had a set back or even a series of set backs.
