Editorial Reviews

I'm a teacher and used Soda Pop Head and the accompanying activity/idea book with a lesson. Great resource with lots of good reproducibles and teaching ideas. Definitely a good purchase.

Excellent tool for teaching kids and anger and how to manage it. I used this book with kids K-4 in general ed and with children with autism. Also reflected on my own strategies while teaching. Concrete activities to show feelings!
