Ravi learns that when he turns angry no one wants to do anything with him
It's better to use his words to talk about things that bother him
Ages 3-7

Ravi is the youngest and the smallest in his family, and today, that's not a good thing: he gets wedged into a small seat on the train, can't reach the monkey bars, isn't tall enough to go on the big slides, and they run of out ice cream when it's his turn. Ravi's anger turns him into a tiger, and he goes wild: "He roared and growled and did exactly what he wanted. But soon he found that nobody wanted to play with him." He calms down, begins to feel more sad than angry, apologizes to his family (dad, three older siblings, and a dog named Biscuits), and never turns into a tiger again..."Although every now and then...he did have a bit of a growl."

From Zones of Regulation Book list ( )

This easy childhood fantasy book follows Ravi as he gets so mad he turns into a tiger. When he is a tiger people do not really want hang out with him because he is scary. This would be a good book for kindergarten and talking about emotion regulation. I believe it is also a series so a classroom could do an emotion a day to talk about. ( )
