The monster books are quickly becoming a favorite of my 2.5 year old! She was very worried about the angry monster, Albie and wanted him to be happy. It was so cute to see her make the connections!

The Angriest Monster on Mill Street is another installment in the Mill Street Monsters series. I didn’t care for it as much as the author’s other book, The Messiest Monster on Mill Street, as I thought it could be a little scary for some preschoolers. However, the story does convey an important lesson on controlling emotions — that seeking help with issues is sometimes necessary and good for one’s wellbeing.

As with the other books in the series, the illustrations are cute and colorful. I loved how the emotions were illustrated. Though it got a little scary at times.

The rhyming wasn’t as distinct in this book. So I didn’t find it quite as fun to read. But I suppose it had a lot to do with the subject matter.

Overall, The Angriest Monster on Mill Street was a cute rhyming book that is sure to convey some important lessons in anger management to the young ones. Four stars.

I received a DRC from ViaNova Productions through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

Reading this story during reading time for our homeschooling, it was such a hit. I really feel like it was fun but also gets the important message across in a way children can understand. Great book overall and definitely recommend.

This is a good children's book, which is about a blue monster called Albie, who gets so angry that he causes chaos around him. He has to learn ways in which he can calm himself down, and not be so angry, so that he is not hurting anyone.

The images in the book are quirky and fun, and children will love them. The text is in rhyming fashion, which my daughter enjoyed.

This book is part of a series. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

I am a HUGE fan of books that help kids learn how to regulate their emotions and this was is great! It shows both what can happen if your anger gets the best of you, as well as what to do when you are frustrated and need to calm down. We will be purchasing for our home!

The Angriest Monster on Mill Street is a heartfelt story about Albie, and how our anger, when we don't learn to control it, can cause a lot of damage around us. This book is written in catchy rhyme, and the illustrations show the story in a powerful way. After Albie sees the damage his anger does, he looks around to experience some of the positive things around him. As his anger recedes and he sees the damage it did, he starts to clean up his mess. While cleaning up the mess he caused around town, he makes some friends. Now when he gets angry, he can talk to his friends and manage his anger.

This is a fantastic book for kids who have anger issues, to help them recognize and understand their own feelings, to realize that the way they behave has consequences, and they learn that there are ways to help them control and release their anger in a safer environment. Wonderful story for other kids, too, as it gives them a peek into how to help someone else who is getting upset. Wonderful book!

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this advanced review copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review on the book!

I absolutely loved this book! I loved how it portrayed what happens when we lose our temper and how it can affect those around us. one of my favorite parts was when Allie tried to calm down by using his 5 senses. This would be a fabulous book for kids at school. I absolutely loved it!

This book is an easy reading and the story is great and will be easily interpreted by children, of course with the support of an adult to help draw a parallel with reality and with what children feel when they are angry and the consequences that can arise from an explosion of emotions.
The illustrations are also interesting and accompany the text very well.

Thank you to ViaNova Productions, LLC for allowing advance reading of this book.

An adorable rhyming picture book to help kids identify anger and learn ways to cope with the roiling emotion. Pictures are simple, but help young readers engage better with the text. A great book to help children learn mindfulness and how to identify and work through their emotions.
