It is a must for the home or classroom.

Ava P. ★★★★★

The illustrations by Allison Valentine really capture Lester's fizzy emotions, and my students in second grade immediately understood the anger-management lesson without me having to explain it. It's become our go-to read-aloud before recess.

Matthew G. ★★★★★

My 8-year-old son couldn't stop giggling at the fizzing soda pop analogy for anger—it made a tough topic way easier to talk about. The illustrations really helped him connect with Lester's story.
