This book is about Allie, Allie has big feelings and doesn't know how to control them. Her brother helps her work through her emotions and turn back into Allie. AGES 3-7

Allie's brother helps her calm down after she erupts in anger when a crayon breaks.

This is a good book for helping kids talk about emotions, including recognizing them and managing them. I really liked the visualization of Allie changing from a furry red monster to a cooler blue monster to finally back to herself. It's also nice to see a pair of African-American siblings in a book that isn't about race. ( )
