Mouse was not having a good day. He was really mad, and being mad made him want to hop like a hare. Hare showed him how to hop properly, but then mouse fell into the mud. Now he was even more mad. As mad as a bear! But when he stomped like a bear, he fell in the mud again. Over and over he gets even more upset, until all he can do is stand still...and breathe deeply. Urban's simple text and Cole's bright watercolor, colored pencil, and ink illustrations combine to create a fun story to help children learn to control angry feelings.
