From the publisher

The Angry Octopus story featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, teaches children relaxation techniques for controlling anger and negative emotions. It helps kids to calm down and lower stress and anxiety levels by focusing awareness on various muscle groups to create a complete resting of the mind and body. Muscular relaxation can lower anxiety levels and be used to decrease pain. These effective stress and anger management techniques are woven into this award-winning story. Your child will learn the technique as they read the story. Children relate to the angry octopus in this beautifully illustrated book as the sea child shows him how to manage his anger, remain calm and see things more clearly. This engaging story quiets the mind and relaxes the body so your child can let go of anger and fall asleep peacefully.Angry Octopus is one of four stories featured on the Indigo Ocean Dreams audiobook and is available in several formats. The Spanish version of Angry Octopus titled El Pulpo Enojado (ISBN: 9781937985011) Angry Octopus Color Me Happy, Color Me Calm (ISBN: 9781937985332) is a self-help interactive coloring book that compliments this story. Note to Parent: Angry Octopus is a kid favorite. While the story best suited for kids ages 6-12, do not let this be your primary reason for selecting.
