Summary:"In this highly engaging lift-the-flap story, a young girl gets very, very MAD at her dad. Her emotions take over, and the girl doesn't like the intensity and vastness of her feelings at all. So she tries all sorts of tricks and strategies to calm herself down: counting, jumping rope, yelling ... It turns out, however, that anger isn't always easy to get rid of, and that being mad all day is a heavy weight to carry. This lasting strain makes the girl feel sad on top of being angry. But once she and Dad have each had some time to themselves, they find comfort in each other."--
