Review

I loved this book. Sam has a bad temper and in the book his temper looks like a black and mean tumbleweed that Sam does not realize is "his temper." Sam's "temper" is constantly tested and Sam is getting very tired of being angry. Finally the day comes decides he is sick and tired of "his temper." Sam decides to take a deep breath and slowly breathes in and out and suddenly "his temper" is gone....sort of. Read the book and you will see what I mean. The drawings are strong with bright red, turquoise and white....very angry looking yet appropriate colors for this story. Recommend.

Overall Book Score: very good
