A little girl is cranky right now - she doesn't want anything to do with her brothers, or her parents - there's so many reasons and most aren't her fault, and mom just wants her to go to bed! But, remarkably, after a short sleep, she's feeling better and sees things with a different perspective. 

Dealing with emotions, particularly 'cranky" ones, can be difficult for a child. I liked that this book gives some ideas for recognizing feelings and possibly turning them around. Julie Berry's lyrical text makes for a fun read aloud which would make a great springboard for talking about it.
