I teach 3 - 5 year old children in a pre-school setting. I use this book to help validate and talk about emotions. The children seem to relate to Sophie and the reason for her anger.

The illustrations are wonderful and portray the theme of the book well so that young children can re-tell the story before they are able to read the text. I use this book in the classroom to introduce the "cozy corner" so children know they have a place within the classroom where they can go when they feel angry or the need to just be alone for a bit. Great book for social/emotional learning!
