        The Snit and George Franklin Whit

        by Overbey, Taylor

        George Franklin Whit was having a Snit so bad he became one! What will he do when he breaks his favorite toy? Follow him through his house as his anger boils out of control. When children are very angry, they don’t realize how damaging their tantrums are to themselves and others around them. This well illustrated book shows that they have a choice of going into a ‘Snit’ or showing their anger in healthy ways. Since verbalizing anger is difficult to learn, the included Snit-O-Meter is a handy tool for them to visually show their anger level and helps create a dialogue to resolve the situation.
