Response/Rating (1-4): I enjoyed this book very much. I think that the illustrators use of colors to help display Sophie’s emotions were used very well. I currently have a student that is having a hard time dealing with emotions and I think this is a great book to help him realize it’s okay to be angry.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: How does it make you feel to be angry and what do you do when you get angry?
