*Paperback* Mean Soup 生气汤 by Betsy Everitt PBC

生气汤讲述的是这一天小男孩霍斯过得很不高兴。他带着一肚子怒气回家。但是，他妈妈却说要煮汤。当水滚开时，妈妈对着锅子大叫，她要小男孩也照样做。他们还一起对着锅子龇牙咧嘴、吐舌头、大声敲打锅子。最后，小男孩笑了，心里也快活多了。

有时候，孩子难免处在负面的情绪当中，成人应该试着了解和接纳孩子的情绪，同时帮助孩子找到合宜的抒解管道。这是与孩子共读此书时，值得细细咀嚼的滋味。

It has been a bad day for Horace. A very bad day. He's come home feeling mean. But his mother knows just what to do! "For the book Mean Soup, the recipe is as follows: (1) clever text spiced with one or two outrageous bits; (2) a grand message about getting out anger instead of locking it inside; and (3) exciting artwork as full of life as the story."--Booklist
