The Angry Octopus story featured on ABC's Shark Tank, teaches children relaxation techniques for controlling anger and negative emotions. It helps kids to calm down and lower stress and anxiety levels by focusing awareness on various muscle groups to create a complete resting of the mind and body. Muscular relaxation can lower anxiety levels and be used to decrease pain. These effective stress and anger management techniques are woven into this award-winning story. Your child will learn the technique as they read the story.

Children relate to the angry octopus in this beautifully illustrated book as the sea child shows him how to manage his anger, remain calm and see things more clearly. This engaging story quiets the mind and relaxes the body so your child can let go of anger and fall asleep peacefully.

Angry Octopus is one of four stories featured on the Indigo Ocean Dreams audiobook and is available in several formats. The Spanish version of Angry Octopus titled El Pulpo Enojado (ISBN: 9781937985011) Angry Octopus Color Me Happy, Color Me Calm (ISBN: 9781937985332) is a self-help interactive coloring book that compliments this story.

Note to Parent:

Angry Octopus is a kid favorite. While the story best suited for kids ages 6-12, 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 many thousands of copies worldwide and is translated into several languages.

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
