A little boy learns to calm Oskar, his Want Monster, who urges him to overeat, play video games too long, and be the center of attention.

"A young boy accidentally lets his dog loose from the yard, in a book that helps young readers learn to express and articulate sadness"--OCLC.

"A little girl and her brother go with their family to the zoo, only to find that they can't stop laughing! Between making funny monkey faces and stretching their arms for elephant trunks, it's no wonder they snort out their milk at lunch. The little girl doesn't see any harm in her silliness at first, but when she scares an animal by shouting and banging on the glass, she learns that there's a time and place to be silly (like at the zoo playground), and a time and place to be calm (when animals are sleeping)"--Publisher.

"A young boy is not having a good day. And between the sopping wet towels in the bathroom and his homework that's been colored all over in crayon, he knows just whom to blame: his little brother, Jack. The boy's day only gets worse when he leaves Jack and goes to school. Thankfully, his principal knows exactly what will help. By drawing events of the day, the boy is able to slow down and reflect on what made him mad--so that when he returns home, his messy, crayon-covered little brother no longer seems so bad"--Publisher.

"A young girl and her class go on a field trip, complete with a roller coaster, pie-eating contest, and petting zoo, in a book that helps young readers learn to express and articulate happiness"--OCLC.
