Finn Throws a Fit! by David Elliott


Finn Throws a Fit! by David Elliott, illustrated by Timothy Basil Ering, Candlewick Press, 2008, ISBN 978-0-7636-2356-2.
Just what it says: a book about a toddler throwing a fit. While I certainly wouldn't want to encourage fit-throwing, it might be good for children to see that other children do get angry. And there are ways to handle that anger. The book is full of hyperbole examples: "He kicks. An earthquake shakes the world." Illustrations are great: really convey the force of this fit! Use with "When Sophie Gets Angry" by Molly Bang.
