Bookroo's summary

Meet the Big Red Monster, whose anger grows with each turn of the page. As his fiery features emerge, children are invited to help him find calm through deep breaths and imagination. Can they soothe his thundery loud mouth and make his firecracker hair vanish? This interactive journey teaches kids to manage emotions in a fun, engaging way, echoing the timeless appeal of its predecessor, Go Away, Big Green Monster!

From the publisher

This monstrously fun companion to the bestselling classic Go Away, Big Green Monster! shows kids how to calm down with more than ten interactive peekaboo pages. Big Red Monster is angry! Turning the pages reveals colorful illustrations of different parts of the cranky creature’s face–from two mean green eyes to a big thundery loud mouth–as he gets increasingly upset. We can help him calm down by taking deep breaths–in and out–until even his yellow-and-orange firecracker hair disappears. This ingenious, interactive book about working through feelings of anger through play, imagination, and breathing deeply feels as fresh and innovative today as Go Away, Big Green Monster! did 30 years ago. Also check out Go Away, Big Green Monster! which has sold over a million copies!
