Note to Parent:

Angry Octopus is a kid favorite. While the story best suited for kids ages 5-11, do not let this be your primary reason for selecting. Every child has a different emotional maturity, attention span, and need. You know your child best and remember this is not about the reading level. The focus is on the actual techniques.

This story received national attention on ABC's Shark Tank and has sold thousands of copies worldwide.

Industry Reviews

Adults who choose Angry Octopus as a read-aloud will find it holds plenty of opportunities for exploring anger and its management. Familiar feelings come to light as the octopus loses his temper and control, and a passing sea child tries to help him identify the results of his choices. Angry Octopus goes above and beyond most psychological stories for the very young in not just exploring feelings, but introducing basic calming techniques that kids can employ to regain control over their emotions.

When accompanied by parental or adult interactive experiences, kids receive specific guidelines for exercises that encourage them to better understand not just their feelings, but the routines they may employ to manage them.

Libraries and adults seeking picture books that take the extra step beyond understanding and into introducing proactive behaviors and emotional management strategies will welcome Angry Octopus for its appealing, practical insights on handling anxiety, stress, and anger. - Midwest Book Review
