All three of my daughters love this book. Each page shows a child who is mad and wants to do something nasty like hitting or screaming. You lift the flap and there is an alternative action for a child to perform. For example, (from the book) I'm mad, I want to hit my baby brother"'. (Opposite page) "That's not okay, but I can (lift the flap) hit some pots and pans, BANG, BANG, BANG. This pattern continues throughout the book. The pictures capture the childrens attention quite well and are colorful and cute. My daughters very quickly picked up the pattern and were soon reading the book from memory. The book is quite durable, even though it is a flap book, and has survived my girls for 5 years. Very pleased.
