Editor's note: Classroom teachers report using this book as a read aloud when children are having trouble getting themselves calm.

"I use it at school to teach my students how to switch gears and calm down when they are upset-taking a deep breath does not work for everyone, so giving them something (written so well that it's almost tangible to them) does wonders!"- Mia J. Gray
