by Mercer Mayer
Mercer Mayer's very popular Little Critter stars in a picture book about feeling angry. With minimal text and funny illustrations to spell out every new situation, the book shows the Critter family saying no to everything Little Critter wants to do. He can't keep frogs in the tub. He can't help paint the house. Finally, mad at the world, Little Critter announces he will run away. When pals come by and ask him to come and play baseball, our young hero's mood quickly changes. He grabs his bat and heads off for the game, telling himself he can run away another day if he is still so mad.

Customers often find the story relatable for kids and helpful for discussing anger, with simple text and expressive illustrations that children enjoy. However, some felt the ending is abrupt or confusing and requires extra discussion, lacking clear coping strategies or resolution, making it less suitable for therapy use for those readers.
