Touch and Feelings: Angry Bear

Written by a child psychologist, this adorable touch-and-feel book introduces children to the concept of anger and offers tips on how to overcome this feeling whenever it arises.

Recognizing and dealing with emotions is an important part of a child's development, and this tactile touch-and-feel book is an excellent introduction to the concept of anger. Written by a child psychologist who specializes in children's emotions, Angry Bear explores the different ways that the adorable bear character feels angry. Sometimes the bear wakes up grumpy in the morning; sometimes things get dropped and break. But it’s good to let out the angry feelings to make room for the happier feelings to fit! Includes a child-safe mirror so children can see exactly how they look when they're angry—and then feeling happier!
