Brock the Angry Croc.: A Rhyming Picture Book About Anger, Calming Down, and Making Things Right (Ages 4-8) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180581723)

Brock has a great big smile, and a great big temper.

Brock the crocodile loves to splash and play, but when something goes wrong, a hot, churning wave rises up inside him, and out it bursts. So when a clumsy little duckling named Dot knocks over his careful tower of stones, Brock roars, thrashes his great tail, and sends a muddy wave crashing down, scaring his friend away. Then the marsh goes quiet, the water turns muddy and brown, and Brock is left alone in the mess he made.

It is wise old Nana who shares the secret: being mad is not bad. Even she feels the heat. Anger is just a wave in your chest, and a wave will always settle if you breathe and wait. With one slow breath at a time, Brock learns to let the wave pass, choose what to do next, and go make things right with Dot.

Told in warm, galloping rhyme made for reading aloud, Brock the Angry Croc is a tender story about anger, calming down, and making amends, for children ages 4 to 8. A "Let's Talk About Big Feelings" page at the end helps grown-ups and kids carry the lesson off the page.
