Rory Red can be used to support children in emotional literacy, as well as to be read for leisure. It is the ideal book to help children understand and cope with their angry feelings. "Rory Red is a colour who always feels angry. That was until a friendly face showed him how to cope with his feelings."

Packed full of stories, puzzles, quizzes, and colouring, drawing and writing games, this is an excellent resource for parents or practitioners to use with children aged 5 to 9 years. The Anger Gremlin is a naughty creature and his favourite food is your anger! The more anger you feed him, the bigger and bigger he gets and the angrier and angrier you feel! How can you stop this? Starve the Anger Gremlin of angry thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and watch him disappear!

 

Angry Octopus is a story that teaches children how to use progressive muscle relaxation and breathing techniques to calm down, lower stress, and control anger.
