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.
When Matt's little brother ruins his best baseball card, Matt wants to
"knock him flat." Readers will identify with Matt's feelings, and can
help him choose a better way to handle his anger.
