Everyone experiences a variety of emotions from day to day. Mad,
Mad, MAD explores a little boy’s attempt to deal with his frustrating
emotions. Sometimes he’s happy,
sometimes he’s sad. But sometimes he
gets really mad. How does the boy calm
down? He tries to sit and flop, he hugs his blankie and sometimes tries to walk
about. The end of the book explores activities
to help the MAD, MAD, MAD go away: doggies, yoga, coloring, laughing and much, much more!
Mad, Mad, MAD is the perfect book to help parents
discuss varying emotions with their children.
Not only do the pages give helpful solutions but the final page lists
ten additional ideas to calm a frustrating moment. The illustrations are descriptive and
perfectly illustrate the emotions of each character. Although there are few words on each page emotions
and solutions are approached and executed with precision. Mad,
Mad, MAD is a great board book!
