This is the second book I read from this author. I enjoyed this one as much as I did the last one. The only thing that I do notice is that the story is a little too long for the intended age group. The last book I read from this author was about worry, this one is about frustration. We follow a character who is frustrated a lot of things are not going as well as he'd like them to throughout the day. He tries different coping mechanisms (counting to ten, taking four deep breaths) but those things aren't working. I liked the attempts to explore ways to calm down. That was a good lesson. Twitch's whole day was ruined. I like how the book shows that sometimes things that happen earlier in the day can upset your whole entire day. It's something good to stop and talk about with the kids while you read. Twitch eventually entered a contest, didn't do as well as he did, and only won the third prize. I loved how they explained the actions of his frustration (complaining, blaming, despair, so mad he could cry). He sees a squirrel modeling better behavior in response to not doing so well, or things not going his way. And he, of course, takes a lesson from this. I liked the end and how positive it was. The lesson was to take your failures and find something positive out of them. There are lessons in there. Though this book can be too long for preschoolers, I still plan to read it because of how well the last book went.
