I was skeptical when I read this to myself at work. I thought, "This is awfully dramatic. Won't my children worry if I tell them tantrums result in floods and storms?" I wasn't sure if they'd get the metaphor. Then I went home to my own Finn, who was in a monster mood. He threw a terrific and very dramatic fit. I joined him on the floor and told him about this book. "In the book, there's a boy named Finn, just like you. He is so mad. So super mad that he yells and his loud yelling makes the house shake. Does that sound like a book you would like to read? The Finn in the book is sad. He's so sad that he cries so many tears and floods the floor of the house. Can you imagine! The floor all wet with tears." And my own Finn stops yelling and listens. He wants to hear more about the book-Finn. And so, this book won me over.
