"A book that invites readers to noodle around with their own relationship to anger in all of its various forms. ... Like the lovely classic, The Little Prince, this is a book unafraid of deeper emotions and ambiguities." -- Publishers Weekly (US) "Pleasantly lacking moral-mongering, this fresh collection will appeal to parents and children who enjoy sharing stories as springboards to discussion and speculation." -- Kirkus Reviews (US) "Curious, compelling tales of animal anger, luminously illustrated." -- Metro (UK)
