This was awful. It read like, "you shouldn't feel angry because you're too small to be. You should just stand perfectly still and do nothing. It'll make you less of everyone's problem." I wholeheartedly believe that this book could hurt people if taken seriously. (

Mouse is very mad. When he ends up doing the actions of the other animals, he always ends up failing. He finally succeeds when he doesn't take his anger out on someone else. (

a silly book about mouse being hopping mad (a hare comes by and shows him how to hop), he was standing still mad, and so on until he realized that he wasn't mad anymore.
silly for fun book.
