This series recognizes that children are entitled to their feelings even
when their behavior needs to be corrected. It acknowledges specific
feelings and offers children several ways to deal with them. Each book
features a choose-your-own-adventure format, and shows what different
outcomes of choices might be--allowing children to back up and try
another solution if they don't like the outcome, or to try a variety of
choices to see how each might turn out.
Alex just can't seem to skate as well as his older brother and sister
can, and he thinks about smashing his skates. Readers are encouraged to
help Alex find better ways to express his frustration and find other fun
things to do.
