I used this book in my virtual storytime for October's My First Books. This was a book where it encourages children that acknowledging their emotions is a good thing. That they can be channeled to do good like a superhero. I really appreciated that readers are given a choice....do good or do bad with those bad day feelings. ( )

Cute. Decent anger management philosophy, with some suggestions on how to redirect. Older kid. ( )

superheroes model the difference between what they feel like doing and what the "super" thing to do really is.

"Instead they dig down to their super-best part,
the strong super-powers contained in their heart!"

This book is great for the classroom because it teaches the students about even super heroes have bad days and they still get through them. So if they even have bad days then its okay to have them as well. ( )

Although superheroes have bad days just like the rest of us, they don't use their superpowers in a destructive way, no matter how badly they are feeling. So the narrator of this rhyming picture-book romp assures us, describing all the chaos they could cause, but don't, because superheroes "just wouldn't."

An entertaining look at the negative emotions that accompany a really bad day, from anger to grief, Even Superheroes Have Bad Days offers a positive super-heroic example for young children on how to deal with and control those feelings. Author Shelly Becker's text has a nice cadence to it, while the accompanying artwork by illustrator Eda Kaban is colorful and full of humor. Recommended to all superhero-obsessed youngsters, as well as to any child (read: all of them) that struggles from time to time to handle their own anger and frustration. ( )
