Welcome to Litsy!

Great for younger students trying to balance their emotions.

“She roars a red, red roar“

This book is really special to me because my parents used to read it to me when I was little. It was a book with my name in it so I was really able to relate to it when I was younger. The pictures in this book are amazing because they show all of the thins that are happening in the story. They are painted in a really bright and abstract way. There are so many colors on every page. This book is great to use to talk about what to do when angry.

This book is about a girl named Sophie who gets in a fight with her sister and gets really, REALLY angry. She throws a tantrum and runs away. She walks, cries, listens, feels, and eventually she feels better.

“She feels the breeze blow her hair. She watches the water and the waves. The wide world comforts her.”

I would use this in my classroom to demonstrate that it‘s okay to get angry but when we do we need to learn how to control it and calm our bodies.

When Sophie Gets Angry— Really, Really Angry… by Molly Bang was published in 1999 and was awarded the Caldecott Honors Award in 2000. This picture book is about a little girl who doesn‘t want to share with her sister. It makes her so angry she goes on a long run and climbs to the top of a tree where she can calm herself down. When she is done taking it all in she climbs back down and heads home to her family.

The wide world comforts her.

What comforts you when you are angry?

In my classroom I would use this to emphasize the idea that different people handle anger in different ways and that it is okay to be angry at times. As a class children could then come up with ways that they could use to make their anger go away.

When Sophie Gets Angry Really, Really Angry is a picture book written and illustrated by Molly Bang. It was published in 1999 and was awarded the Caldecott in 2000. It is filled with bright illustrations that many parents and children can relate to. The character Sophie gets angry, she runs out and climbs her favorite tree to calm down. This book is about how different people handle anger in different ways and how it is okay to get angry.

“oh, is Sophie ever angry now!”

I like how it shows that some people get really mad but the littlest things cheer them up. Being mad and upset is just temporary. I also loved the illustrations in the book i loved how they illustrated her anger with the red lines.

I like this book for kids. A lot of kids have a hard time controlling their emotions and I think this would be a good read aloud to read to them.

This book was a Caldecott award winner in 2000. It was published in 1999. This book shows a really good depiction of handling anger. I, personally, so similar things to Sophie. Showing children that it is okay to be angry, to take a minute to yourself, and come back afterwards with love is such a great lesson!

“The wide world comforts her”

“Everything‘s back together again” and Sophie and her whole family are together and coincidently doing a puzzle! I like that it shows that you can get angry and things will go back to normal and people won‘t be upset with you. It‘s a good way to let kids know it‘s okay to feel their feelings.

This book would be great to use with younger kids as a reminder that we all have feelings and we all have to deal with them. I would like to use it for social emotional learning/ teaching in my own classroom, as well as the others in the “series”.

When Sophie Gets Angry-Really, Really Angry by Molly Bang 2000. Sophie‘s sister and her are playing when all of the sudden, Sophie‘s toy is taken away from her. The book then walks us through how Sophie feels her feeling after getting upset and the ways she calms herself down.

“She wants the world to smash to smithereens.“ I thought this was a good quote kids can resonate with.

I would read this book after a time where there's a lot of conflict amongst the kids. It's a great way to open a discussion about anger, how it makes us feel, and ways to control and manage our anger.

“When Sophie gets Angry-Really, Really Angry“ by Molly Bang, 2004. Caldecott Honor Award. I love this book and think it's a must have for the classroom. Anger is a big feeling, especially for kids, and this book is a good way to reassure them that that's okay. I also think the illustrations are very neat and use color in a very creative way so the illustrations pop out at you, sort of mimicking how anger makes you feel.

I think that this book teaches a valuable lesson to children who may be experiencing anger sometimes, especially when someone takes their toy away(1999). I think that the message and the layout of the book is great.
Aside from that I liked the illustrations. At some points I thought that there was a lot going on in the page, but I enjoyed the use of the words within the illustrations.
“She wants to smash the world to smithereens.“

“The wide world comforts her”

This book would be good for kindergartners and 1st grade. The students would like the pictures in the story. The class would get a great message by hearing this book which makes it great for these ages.

This book is a picture book. It‘s a great book for kids because it teaches them a lesson. It shows kids that you don‘t need to get so angry, you have to learn to be patient. I really liked this book and would definitely read it to my students.

“Sophie is a volcano, ready to explode. And when Sophie gets angry - really, really angry...PABAM.. she runs!“

This picture book focuses on one main thing with the illustrations - the colors. As Sophie's anger starts to build up, the pages become more red and red and red. It also contains vivid pictures with heavy lines and bold action words to help portray the mood. As she calms down, the pictures turn soft, with blue/greens giving us a sense she is okay. Its a great book and teaches us to be willing to share, not overreact, or talk through a situation!

This book is about a little girl who gets really angry because her sister took the toy she was playing with. After a while she calms down when the outdoors comforts her and realizes where everything isn't as big as it seems!

I liked when the book says “everyone is glad she‘s home” because it shows that your family loves you no matter what

This would be good to explain to kids it‘s okay to get angry but it doesn‘t stay like that and that everything‘s gonna be okay

This is a caldecott honor book. I loved this book and think it would help kids work through emotions well

Bang‘s use of colors easily presents the story‘s mood

The line work throughout the book shows great detail especially in the animals through the book showing their fur.
