Full of action and vibrancy... A good way to soothe bad days away. School Library Journal

When superheroes don't get their way, when they're sad, when they're mad, when they've had a bad day...

...they COULD super-tantrum, they COULD but they DON'T, because REAL superheroes just WOULDN'T—they WON'T!

All kids have trouble getting a grip on their emotions, sometimes even young superheroes! But what do they do when they're having a bad day?

Colourful, action-packed illustrations and a dynamite rhyming text reveal the many ways superheroes (and ordinary children, too) can resist the super-temptation to cause a scene when they're sad, mad, frustrated, lonely, or afraid.

From burning off steam on a bike or a hike to helping others, this energetic picture book has plenty of fun ideas to help kids cope when they're feeling overwhelmed.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
