To this little boy, it seems like one thing after another is going wrong, and it isn't his fault! He feels heat rising inside him, first at home and then at school. At lunch, his pent-up feelings burst out, and he yells at his friends. But with the help of a caring principal, he learns to recognize his feelings and let go of his anger.

The Dealing with Feelings series of early readers is designed to give voice to what's brewing inside. Through short, simple text and repetitive observational phrases, children will learn to name their emotions as they learn to read.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
