Whenever Simon gets angry, wild beasts appear to help scare off those who upset him, but over time, he becomes lonely since no one wants to be around him or the beasts, which inspires him to find another way to calm himself.

This was not only adorable (I'm a little obsessed with the way little Simon and his beasties are illustrated), it was also really well-thought out! It begins with showing off the beasts Simon's anger creates and how much fun he has with them at first, but quickly progresses into Simon's regrets as he recognizes that his friends don't want to play with him now that he's given into his anger so much. My favorite detail is that it even touches on his frustrations with himself as he tries to figure out what's “wrong” with him. There are also some resources for parents and caregivers in the back that would be great for a parent grappling with an angry child.
Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
